Tell us about your worst gig and why it was so bad?

DANGEROUS DOUG HARPER

Probably when I was on tour in South Dakota in July, and the tour vans air-co went out. It was so hot, and then the van quit running all together. Some of our family and friends came and got us. The van was towed to a local repair shop, and the family went back up a few days later to get it (the air still was not running) and drive it home.
