Show Notes
In this episode, we give a deep review and breakdown of CC's "official" bootleg Face the Promised Land, recorded almost 25 years ago (December 2, 1999 in Denver).
Special guest Rich Kulesa (who actually attended the Face the Promised Land taping!!) helps give us the quarter-century old "inside story".
Then, Eric and Zephry review the last show of the Oneness Tour, which was in "The OC" (Costa Mesa, CA), and featured Toad the Wet Sprocket). All I want, indeed.
