Comment from MrBillindallas:
Concert was from a two night run - the last of nine total dates on the NorCal tour. Shot on 16mm film with an audio remote truck in the alley. Movie was released in Europe but not in the US. Great band, at one of the best venues in the 'States, the last two nights of the mini-tour they were truly on fire. One venue was so small the band filled the stage and the dance floor.

Agreed totally with @nontypicalazdrubal Willie Green is an awesome bass singer and his bass vocals just add that perfect, full, sound to the lead vocals of Arnold McCuller and Bobby & Sam King of Chicken Skin Music :)Awesome video and it's still unforgiveable that any country has felt the desire to have nuclear anything, let alone nuclear weapons and I hope there will be a day when there will be no need for weapons of any shape or form.Thank you for sharing and peace to everyone.9 years ago

What a schizophrenic place my mind is right now. Amazing music, horrific message. Let's write a cappella barbershop quartet music about galaxies, or...I don't know, NOT genocide.10 years ago

Fantastic singing, bad lyrics. How does dropping a nuke on Japan represent "god's" will? Dropping the nuclear bomb in the first place was a crime against humanity on our (the US') part. Historical documents from both sides of the conflict (from the American and Japanese military) have shown that Japan was on the verge of surrender, whether or not the US dropped the bomb. The nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a dark blot on human history that we as a nation will never live down.15 years ago
