Full Show Friday: Social Distortion 2/24/92 CBGB's NYC

We search the murky back waters of youtube to find full concerts and post them to the site weekly, come back every seven days to help us celebrate Full Show Friday's.  These shows are of varying quality and may not be here for long so enjoy them while you can...As always, please support the artist every which way, but especially by seeing them live (if they are still playing)...This week...Social Distortion!

We have a special theme this month as we focus on full live shows from the historic NYC shithole CBGB's. 

We saw many a filthy show there, and while the bathroom was the worst in history, the sound was absolutely fantastic. Our only regret is that we never had a chance to play it. This month we focus on some of the great bands who did, tackling one show from each decade the venue was in operation. 

Social Distortion gets the nod this week as they play the Bowery venue back in 1992. They were touring in support of their new (at the time) album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. Mike Ness is a bit muffled and mumbles on the mic but the video is as high quality as you can hope for. We were never a big fan of the band, but we did catch them a few years back at Voodoo Fest. Enjoy the straight ahead hard core honky tonk riffs, their covers of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" and of course the fantastic "Ball and Chain", full set list below:
