The Jesus Lizard ripped through San Francisco with an hour-plus set on Friday, December 15,  Perfectly capping a night of debauchery, nihilism, and pure rock & roll, founding vocalist David Yow spoke his parting words to the audience: "Thank you very very very much. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. Sorry. Thank you. Sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. Thank you." Photos below of them and opening act Dead Rider, an experimental rock band from Chicago who "doesn't care about their guitar solos."
