Teenage Head....Picture My Face....live fall 1980 at The Spoke and Rim (sometimes referred to as the Puke and Rimjob on some bootlegs)....Frankie is in prime form here, 'remember the Cedar Lounge....well we wrote this song in those scummy little rooms upstairs'....Frankie passed away 1 year ago today and this is all we can do for him!
2. Blue Cheer....Summertime Blues....ya, i know i played this song last week, but it sure ain't my fault that Dickie Peterson passed away earlier this week! The last ever show they did was at SWSX in 2008....and to think we almost had Blue Cheer here in London back in 2007...well at least they played Toronto on that tour!

25. Dave Rave and Lauren Agnelli...Let's Shake... from the Confetti CD...OK, so Dave was an original member of Teenage Head, then he re-joined as vocalist when Frankie left the band...then Dave started the Dave Rave Conspiracy after Teenage Head packed it in....so this song is a bit of a trib to Frankie Venom...and for some odd reason the last time they played London, i got tossed on stage with a tambourine when they played this song...i musta been drunk or something!
26. The Lyres...Not Looking Back...from their 2nd LP, Lyres Lyres from 1986. A real asskicked of an LP!!
