A Vacation Close to Home

 "We haven't played here in 10 years. Let's party."
- BC, 4/17/2015

Unofficially, the last time GM played was 12 years ago (almost to the date). Just found this beauty in the arguyves:

 I remember Bill being cool enough to get me in Sully's at the time, as I was a wee candyass 19 year old. I wasn't nearly hip enough to appreciate this B.L.O>Alibi (titled "Bunk" on CD)>Post>B.L.O.  I'll throw this show on archive.org if there's enough demand (i.e. if one person asks me). 
In their return to Sully's last Friday night, the band brought the heat (and Mercier) for a cover heavy show. Setlist and videos below.
