“The Live Skate Benefit Concert took place on November 28th, 1987. It's purpose was to raise money to support the Skateboarding club that hung out in our church's parking lot at the time. While we practiced at the church, the skaters would practice tricks and jumps, etc. ! At that time, it was quite a big deal in the area. The concert took place outside in the courtyard of the church, and attracted alot of skaters and their supporters. The acoustics were horrible, as the courtyard was enclosed by block walls! Recorded with a four track! This was also the only recording we have that features Joe “Lizardman” Domikaitis on Bass.” (from http://worthlessrecords.blogspot.com/2009/08/no-laughing-matter-live-skate-benefit.html)
