Night two of The Donkeys‘ West Coast run with CFTPA.  My audience recording for this one was unusable, but luckily the board feed sounds half-way decent.

I was fortunate enough to make it out to California for Casiotone for the Painfully Alone’s farewell weekend, and was treated to three nights of The Donkeys as a perfect bonus!  In addition to backing Owen, The Donkeys opened each night with their own set.  Here’s the first of the three nights–keep your eye out over the next few days for the other two.
