Here's what $103.30-plus-booking-fee gets you at a show by the Californian punk veterans: Fireworks, confetti, flame throwers, fire bombs, mirror balls, water pistols, wardrobe changes, two encores, toilet paper drops, free T-shirts and two-and-a-half hours of some of the best pop-punk around.

Sandwiched between album highlights "Welcome to Paradise" and "Basket Case", the song easily falls prey to "album track syndrome", where a listener is prone to skip over it in order to get to another, more familiar tune. I certainly do that every time I listen to the record, partly because it's not one of my favorites, but more importantly because it kills the momentum the album has been riding out up to that point. I know "Pulling Teeth" has its fans, but I've always found it a bit boring.
