01. Whole show as one chapterTwo and a half minutes into the set and it's over with almost the whole crowd turning on the band after Seth 'punched' a girl in the head. It all happened in the crowd and in the dark but whatever happened it pissed a lot of people off.
This show appears on side A of the Breaking The Law release.
At a show in San Francisco, 2 minutes and 45 seconds into the band's performance, a woman by the name of Elizabeth Quigley tried to grab the microphone of vocalist Seth Putnam. Putnam turned around and swung with the microphone in his hand, hitting Quigley in the face and causing her to sustain a minor face injury. The rest of the recording features the members of the audience, including Elizabeth Quigley, shouting at Putnam, including repeated cries of "Get the fuck out of here!" and "Call the fucking cops!". The woman screams several insults at Putnam, mainly that he is a "fat fucking piece of shit". There were only 10 people there, half of whom were playing pool and most of whom appear on the record.This disc has the following Anal Cunt shows:
The anger of the other 9 people in the club was compounded by Putnam making sarcastic replies to Quigley's comments, including the following exchange:
Quigley: You're a fat fucking piece of shit
Putnam: I know.
Quigley: I know.
Putnam: Thank you, good day!
Despite consistent attempts at negotiation and a peaceful resolution of the situation, the argument only got more heated and even when towards the end of the recording, Putnam attempts to apologise, Quigley refuses to accept it. The confrontation culminated with the arrest of Putnam, for assault - this is the only time he has been arrested for Anal Cunt-related activities, although he has been in court for other drug-related offences. Having been arrested by the San Francisco Police Department, he had to spend the remainder of the night in jail.
Later that year, on October 19, Seth Putnam received a letter from Elizabeth Quigley's Attorney at Law, Michael Spadaccini, an attorney licensed in California, informing him that he was preparing to file a civil action against Putnam for assault. Despite the fact that no 'real' assault took place, Seth Putnam was indeed taken to court charged with assault. Found guilty, he was fined $1200.
