*Notes, sorry gotta be honest, I guess most people when putting stuff out there for all to see may usually heavily censor themselves when it comes to things they didn't like, were not proud of, etc. I see no sense with that I guess. That said, yes Kurt knocks himself right way out of tune at the end of his solo before we do HIS song "How About You" causing a horrible thing haha. I always hated the song to begin with, I just didn't feel it at all, not the music, not the barely a melody, not the lyrics, just wasn't me. THE JOINT is JUMPIN' was collaboration between Kurt and I that was forced by everyone else as an experiment, in an attempt to make us get along, I didn't like that or get it either and most of my shit got over-ruled in it.

I love the three covers here, that is real vintage SAINTS in HELL right there.

As far as MEDUSA, I wrote that song almost exactly three years before this gig in Feb of 1979. I had been already writing lyrics and trying to work with guitar players collaborating by like 77. MEDUSA however the very first song I ever wrote completely, the lyrics, melody and the guitar parts. I had all kinds of other songs by then but TOM insisted we do this song. It was this thing where the very first time he heard it and the other songs I wrote in that group at that time just surprised him, like wow dude you are actually writing songs, it was one of the things that made him see something in me basically and you can clearly hear him singing with me in the Choruses.
