"Jack on Fire" is one of my favorite songs of all time.
I’m trying to remember mine. I got a few and probably a bunch I don’t know about it.

Summer of 1984, The Jockey Club, Newport, Kentucky--legendary punk club, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. They were really good. Jeffrey played a lot of guitar, including a good amount of slide in addition to singing. This was during Kid Congo Powers' second tour of duty with the band. Terry Graham was on drums. Patricia was good on bass. She wore a lot of makeup and a wig that didn't make her look goth so much as it did an attractive female demon from a horror movie. I saw her before the show sans wig and makeup and she looked like a different person.
The show was kind of like seeing The Fall in that they didn't play a lot of their earlier songs, instead performing mostly new or recently released stuff. Some people were disappointed not to hear earlier tunes such as "She's Like Heroin To Me". But it was a good show nonetheless.
