lefthand_lowland Beautiful versions of deep cuts and new favorites. Thank you for shining your light up so that others may see the way. If you’re purchasing this album please pay more than what is asked. Looking forward to more live HGM maybe some hard copy versions of these releases as well?

Little H Collective Fucking glorious. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’m hoping we get volume 2 from the East Coast swing.

James Mahoehney As a Hiss fan who has every live album with the full band, I didn't think I needed this, but I realized quickly I was wrong. Mike, thanks for being brave and giving me exactly what I needed. Favorite track: Hardlytown.
