"Raised by Tigers" live is blowing my mind. I was under 21 during all SKWM shows and was only able to see them once at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago in 2005. Michael actually came by and chatted with me for awhile. Best band in the entire universe. Thank you so much for this upload.

I had a similar issue, but I turned 21 in 97 and got to see them live a few times at the empty bottle from 98 on. Micheal was always so nice and chatty. He would just wander around with a big smile. I am glad you got to see them. Also thank you for this upload

Holy shit, more like!

Hey Tim, why didn’t Andy want to play “Parsons”?

[@mopedals1921]

Don’t normally comment on YT but this I had to. Hearing In The West material live again wow! Saw them in that era. Hopefully the reissue is still happening.

Ten years ago there was no footage of four piece Silkworm, this is incredible!

2nd tune is actually "Dust My Broom," and the tune after "Raised by Tigers" is "Around A Light," which was the B (double A?) side of Joel's tune "Violet"

[@AndyKooyer]

@@prinznevsky Thanks! I must have just had a brain fart on Dust My Broom and Raised by Tigers. Also thanks on Around A light!

3k views on this is criminal. You will always be my heros

[@prinznevsky]

Why didn't I see this upload sooner? Shit Goddamn!

[@DanCohoon]

Andy looks 17!

[@ericfundingsland]

Any chance I could use portions of this video for my movie about touring? Andy And Tim are in it.

FD is the man to ask. I'll pose the question to him soon.
