SETLIST/TIMESTAMPS BELOW! We're back again LIVE from Boston at the Berklee Performance Center on Dec 7th 2024. The video quality on this one is a bit rough around the edges since we just had a single GoPro, but the band sounds so awesome I had to share it. Also sadly we lost that GoPro in the last 3rd of the set, so theres some footage from peoples phones, and me conducting to make up for it. Sorry! But the way the band sounds, and the special guests here make it well worth it!
