The guitar was never recovered, but Armstrong continued playing with a replacement—one that would later appear on this live recording in San Francisco. 🎤 Lars Frederiksen Joins the Band — Lars Frederiksen officially became Rancid’s second guitarist just months before this 1995 show. His arrival brought a new dynamic to the band, and this live recording captures one of his earliest performances with them, showcasing the chemistry that would define their sound for years to come. 🏙️ San Francisco’s Punk Legacy — The show was part of Rancid’s tour supporting their album *...And Out Come the Wolves*, which became a defining record for the 90s punk revival. San Francisco, with its rich punk history—from Dead Kennedys to Operation Ivy—was a natural stop for the band, and this live CD preserves that connection. 🫧 PROTECTION Transparent outer protective sleeve provided. 📦 PACKING & SHIPPING Fast and careful shipping.
