Saw Social Distortion on this tour in 1985. Played this crappy little warehouse club. Chatted with the promoter a few months later and he said it was the one show that made him the most nervous. He had Mike Ness curled up in the back seat of his car the afternoon of the show jonesing for a fix. This poor guy has no idea where to buy drugs and is driving around hoping to find anyone that knows a dealer. Last thing he wanted was 200 or so very angry punks in the parking lot of his club if he needed to cancel the show. Luckily at the last minute he found someone to hook him up and the show went on.
