Don't know about the production details, but Warren has been known to
dab his hand in there.  (I just saw him credited as co-producing the new
Allmans studio recording now underway, along with Michael Barbiero.)

Sadly, the sound was not very good for their set, so I couldn't make out
any of the lyrics.  I only have one album of theirs, an LP (yes, *LP*)
called "Animosity," from back when they were ostensibly a "hardcore"
band.  I haven't listened to it in ages, though.

Cheers,

Paul.
