Liner Notes
Here we go again! This CD set documents the 2004 tour. The show happened at San Jose State in Northern California. A great crowd and I am glad it was the night we recorded. In the tradition of the last three volumes of Talk Is Cheap, the CDs are long and low on edits and cost and of course, one dollar from each CD will be donated to Hollygrove in Los Angeles (a home for abused and neglected children, www.hollygrove.org). The tour ended up being 91 shows and ended at the University of California at Bakersfield on October 21, 2004. Thanks for showing up. It was a great time I had out there with you. I hope you enjoy the show. The children of Hollygrove thank you too.
Henry Rollins, November 2004.
