CP2 Big Deal Live at the Mab by Capitol Punishment Fresno published on 2014-11-25T00:11:20Z Capitol Punishment live at the Mabuhay Gardens San Francisco Jan 14, 1982. Fresno night promoted by TY of MRR fame. What a night it was! Maniax, NBJ, Toxic Shock and The Frigidettes. Big Deal was one of the 10 songs we played...and the best. We had some more way to go to get to where we wanted to be as a band. This was one of first gigs with Ralph on vocals, We had just played a gig just 5 months earlier with Eric Tsuda on vocals and here we were with a new lead singer. And playing in the premier punk club in northern cal!? I just walked up to the sound man and asked him to record our set, handed him a few blanks and I still have the tapes. We always felt bad about this performance because we made so many mistakes as we plowed through our set. But, there were a few bright and shining moments. This song, Big Deal was one of them. Genre punk
