Hammerstein ballroom run of 2007.There was the deal of buying all 5 shows and getting a poster at the end.
After the second or third show,when whatever her name was,who used to start every show,completely fucked up and slammed Moz.We could not believe it,the joint was silent for a second or three.There was a night off between shows and we read online about "GIRLS IN A COMA" were now gonna open.Thank god,anything else was wanted.By the way,no one should open,then or tomorrow,it just promotes....but the "Girls" were alright.
Have'nt seen them since,but what a fucking moment live!
