Any film from the other bands that played that day?

That's Parker. They all probably rushed right across the Ave A to Lucy's after the gig. BTW, this sounds a bit like Sad Lovers And Giants.

Is that Parker Delaney doing vocals or did he join later? I went to college w/him. BTW, sound a bit better in retrospect.

Brilliant and original. Rocking and poetic. Imagine such a show taking place now in Thomkins Square Park now? It'd never happen. There is no musical culture in NY anymore.
