Glorious Goteborg

A quick recap of the last 24 hours: traveled from Hartford to NYC by bus, took a cab to JFK, sat on the runway 6 hours before taking off, landed in Sweden, found that the airline left my bags in New York, went shopping and bought sneakers and underclothes, ate a quick meal at our hotel and jumped on stage to do this show:

Since our bags were still in New York, Daytona had to use a spare MTV camera to capture footage of the performance. When I reviewed the tapes - I was diappointed to discover that the MTV cam had recorded a silent video. I’ve done my best here to lay a soundtrack to this clip that recreates the energy of the night.
