For Boingo Underground's season finale, we’re diving deep into a fan-favorite bootleg: West Lake High, 1981!
Matt, Ashley, and California Matt break down this high-energy show — the performances, the setlist, the madness — with special insight from a surprise guest, Kevin Sullivan, who was there that night and played an unexpected role in Boingo lore.

If you know the bootleg, you know. If you don’t — it’s time.
