Social Distortion - Don't Drag Me Down - Live at Sokol Auditorium, 9.28.2009

Embarking on a tour preempting the release of a new CD (hopefully early 2010,) Social Distortion made their way back to my neck of the woods. Since my last SD fix was clear back in 2007, I was pretty damn anxious for this show: Prefaced by performances by MC Rut and The Strangers, Social Distortion came out and played for a solid hour and a half. As always, Social D was full of energy, playing old favorites, some rare covers and even blessing us with a few new songs (bringing our anticipation of the new album to a fever pitch!) The show, from the openers through Social D, was definitely one I won&be forgetting. Hopefully through these recordings, you can experience the magic of that night too. I believe this fall tour to now be concluded, but if you get a chance to see one of their shows DO NOT MISS the opportunity. And be on the lookout for their (*hopefully*) soon to be released new album. If the songs that they performed from it is any indication, it&going to be another legendary work!
