      I like hearing LAV on the stream but thank you for posting actual video to go with these. Always interesting to see how the various bands set up in different spaces of the studios.
      After seeing this one, I think I might have to see them when they come through KC in June.

      Is it just me, or is John looking more and more like Rick from the Walking Dead.

      Thank you, because it was never bad to begin with, just impossible to get away from.
