Notes:
This recording is dedicated to the life and memory of “Jersey” Mike Van Jura.
Thanks to Tom G. for the tickets.
Thanks to Nick for rolling up with me.
This was a raucous crowd. There was a fair amount of chatter throughout the show. The PA was so damn loud it almost cancels it out during the music:)
Enjoy this recording and don't forget to sing along.

Notes and a caveat:
First night of the Noise Pop festival. mp3 samples are below.
The crowd was fairly chatty, which is noticeable on some of the quieter songs. Before "Not Much Left of Us", I moved slightly to get
away from some noisy people in the crowd, and wound up standing under a fan or vent of some kind. As a result, the last two songs sound
like they were recorded in a hurricane. Oh well, live and learn. Sorry about that.
Finn played six as-yet unreleased songs plus a cover ("Save Me Jesus").
