Bootleg Dan joins us on the show to talk about his involvement with Red On Red Records, booking bands, and his live bootleg collection. Dan spiced the show up by bringing along a bunch of his early live recordings from shows by Montrose, Thin Lizzy, ACDC etc which made for great conversation. It's a fun talk about his new booking operation and a look at the past and the many of the great shows he attended mostly in the rocking 70's.

*Disclaimer - The host talks about a Montrose show in the intro and says the show was in 1993 which was in error.. that show actually happened in 1973.
