The guys played a 2-night stand at CBGBs on Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6, 2003, to provide footage for a live DVD. Not everyone on the DFFD editorial staff made it to these shows, due to a close encounter with a blizzard.
The Friday show seemed snake-bitten right from Jump Street. The stage power blew in the middle of the first tune, and the momentum was never really recovered after that. HDM lost his voice part-way through, but struggled on. Attendance was affected by the snow storm. The highlight of the night was watching RTB play a one-man duet of both guitar parts for “California Sun,” and making it look like he does this kind of thing all the time. Which he probably does.
The set list for both nights:
1. New York, New York
2. The Party Starts Now
3. Master Race Rock
4. Baby Let’s Twist
5. Pussy and Money
6. Next Big Thing
7. Savage Beat
8. Who Will Save Rock & Roll?
9. Avenue A
10. I Stand Tall
11. Speedball
12. Loyola
13. Faster and Louder
14. Sonic Reducer
15. I Am Right
16. Stay With Me
17. Perfect High
18. Two Tub Man
19. California Sun
