Show Review: 543

I have seen Social Distortion many times over the past 7 years. This was by far the best I have seen them. Mike Ness was with it and the band was tight. I have experienced him reading lyric sheets and seeming out of it. I have seen Social Distortion at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC and the energy put into their Rochester show surpassed their performance to a much larger crowd. The small intimate atmosphere was reminiscent of early years and the crowd responded to their melodic guitars and raw lyrics. Definitely the best I have seen them.
