"Gainesville's No Idea Records writes us of Minneapolis's Dillinger Four's upcoming live album, to be released on LSD Records:
"Recorded at First Avenue in Minneapolis on December 16th, 2001! Includes several drunken on-stage phone calls to people ranging from Fat Mike of NOFX to Sib Hashian of '70's rock gods Boston, as well as fourteen "real songs" and, um… two others (if you've ever seen D4 live, you know what we mean). After many failed attempts by labels both local and international to release a live Dillinger Four record, LSD Records has taken matters into their own hands. Recently a phone call was made to the band for an "OK": bassist St. Patrick simply replied "Bootleg what you want. Just don't get us sued". Fair enough!"

From Interpunk.com:
O.k., so the Bad Brains were supposed to play at First Avenue on December 16th, 2001 in Minneapolis. But just like the last three times before, they cancelled. Two things made this time unlike the previous occasions: For one, H.R. himself took it upon himself to call the club before it had opened to bring the bad news. Secondly, Dillinger Four was playing the Entry that day, the small room adjacent to First Avenue. Two things also made this unlike other Dillinger Four shows: having showed up accidentally on time, the boys had found themselves with an unusual amount of time to drink before the doors even opened. Secondly, a tape of the bizarre H.R. message had been passed to them to listen to, which they did while reportedly drinking and laughing for hours. By that time, word of the Bad Brainsâ late-show cancellation had made its way around the room, putting half the crowd in a surly mood. Then D4 took the stage. The next hour was a drunken wash, including an on-stage dissection of H.R.âs message, several on-stage phone calls to people ranging from Fat Mike of NOFX to Sib Hashian of â70âs rock gods Boston, as well as 14 of the guys "real songs" and, um.. two others (if youâve ever seen D4 live, you know what we mean). After many failed attempts by labels both local as well as international to release a Dillinger Four live record, LSD Records has taken matters into their own hands. Recently a phone call was made to the band for at least some sort of "OK", bassist St. Patrick simply replied "Bootleg what you want…just donât get us sued." Fair enough.
