The Lot Lizards (Patterson Hood pre-DBT)

Our good friend Sloan Simpson threw this rare set from Patterson Hood's pre-DBT outfit The Lot Lizards (featuring members of the Possibilites) on archive.org, and although this interrupts the Bottle Rockets series I felt it had to be brought to ya'll's attention.
Great piece of musical history here, I believe it was the first Lot Lizards show, featuring early versions of DBT songs.
Enjoy!
