I love this show. The first set is okay…not bad but nothing too spectacular IMO. The second set though is fucking awesome. I was really pumped that the DWD>Ice made it to the ‘from the archives’ broadcast at SBIX. This has always been one of my favorite DWD’s, they hit a pretty furious groove for the last few minutes with Trey on the mini-kit. I like the evilness of these Summer 96 Mike’s and this Weekapaug also contains some kick-ass machine gun action from Trey.
