Black Diamond Show Playlist: 11/5/12

This show was scheduled for 10/29. Small matter of Sandy the Frank N. Storm interfering. So we played the show on 11/5/12, even if it made our Halloween set play after the real Halloween--but on the day that NJ Gov. Christie asked NJ residents to celebrate Halloween!
