    Classic record. I still remember when it came out. Just melted my brain. Feels almost offensive that it’s been 25 years.

    I grew up in the Ny tri state area and saw Less Than Jake more times than any other band during the late 90s/early 2000s. They were touring machines. Even played local one off shows at VFW halls on their off nights from warped tour. Always had killer openers too (new found glory when they still had “a”, Cooter, home grown, etc.) It was such a special time. Are they still good live? Might have to check this out.

    They’re still a ton of fun live and always sound great. Definitely check out a show if you can

  9. I used to blast this, Goldfinger's Greatest Hits album, and Reel Big Fish's "Why Do They Rock So Hard?". On my shitty little boombox on summer days hanging out at the pool. I'm definitely going to catch the Chicago or the Detroit date.

    I remember when a little band called blink-182 opened for them too. They still put on a super high energy good time--highly recommend seeing them!!

    I’ve seen LTJ about 6 times and they’ve never played it. It’s in my Top 10 songs of all time.

    This was my 3rd time seeing them, first time on the rock view run and both were played Less Than Jake Setlist at The Vanderbilt, Plainview

    I remember them stopping the show about half way through when an overzealous security guard threw one of the horn players off the stage during one of the songs they didn’t play on. Chris lost his shit and the whole band stormed off. I don’t remember how long it was but it felt like an eternity until they finally came back out and said security was relieved if their duties that night. Then another time on Long Island they blew up the pa system. I’m realizing how many weird stops to their show I’ve seen.
