Music Monday – Living Colour/Extreme Double Bill at Casino Regina

Instead of a single video, I’ll post a couple samples from two of my favourite bands from high school/early college years that are playing a double-bill at Casino Regina tonight, an offering enticing enough to get me to leave the house on a Monday night *and* stay up past my bedtime!
