Since I started with the “Wipe Out” guys (in 1990), we’ve played many great shows to big crowds at high-profile venues all over the U.S. (and worldwide too – we’ve toured Europe twice in recent years!) ... The band is well represented here in these solid tracks, all of which were recorded recently (since I have been in the band).
