Max has a visitor from Texas who wants a medical card! 

On the last episode we ended discussing the make up Red Hot Chili Peppers make up show that had Mickey Avalon, rather than Gnarls Barkley. This is going to be hard to believe but we discuss a Mastodon & Priestess show at the Diamond Ballroom in 2007, roughly 300 people were in attendance.... Completely blows my mind!!!!!! We also discuss a show w/ The Who at the Ford Center!

The first show we will discuss in this episode is Taking Back Sunday, Underoath, & Armor For Sleep at the Lloyd Noble in Norman... (this show was amazing & i hate shows at lloyd noble - Jay Ramone)... We also discuss Chinese Democracy era GnR at Lloyd Noble w/ Hinder. Max also reveals that he got beat up once at the Lloyd Noble... Recently, Rock 100.5 The KATT had a record & memorabillia show, Max had a Here's The Deal Vintage booth with lots of things for sale but he was also a shopper... He came across a vendor who was selling an 11 x 17 poster print of Stevie Ray Vaughn performing at Lloyd Noble in 1986 while playing his Number 1, SRV Fender Strat, while wearing a Native American Head Dress, which is from a photo that Max Baker Jr. took with a camera that he snuck into the show! He recognized the photo & the vendor confirmed, it was indeed from a photo that Max had taken!!!!!! We also discuss an absolutely incredible metal show that came through the Cains Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma.... Lamb of God, Trivium, Machinehead, & Gojira!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another legendary show we discuss is the Red Hot Chili Peppers make up show at the Cox Convention Center... Originally the show had Gnarls Barkley as the opener, a snow storm cancelled the original date... The make up date featured Mickey Avalon as the opener instead, & OKC did not like Mickey's performance at all... So much so, they loudly boooooooooo'd during his entire performance.. Extremely Loud Boo's!!!!!! So much so, Flea came out very pissed off & let the fans know exactly how he felt about their behavior!
