I was lucky enough to see this set at the 99' Warped Tour in Denver, at Mile High Stadium. Even then, you knew you were seeing something massive. (Yes, I'm old.)
After telling my kids about seeing Blink for the first time in 99, I got to take them to see Blink in Denver last week..25 years later, and it was so fuckin cool to see them singing their songs!
I was a fan since 99, but life and happenstance didn’t allow me to see them live until last year in Seattle. My best friend was in the same boat so he flew out from Chicago to see them with me. What are the odds that a few months before he’d kinda made friends with Travis online. Dude our first blink show, Travis literally DM’d him and invited us backstage. Got to chill for a few minutes and caught Tom for a pic leaving his dressing room. Top 5 core memory there
To watch Clarity-era Jimmy Eat World and Enema-era blink-182 in the same day is something I can only dream of. Thank you for this upload, it made much easier to dream it.
She was a Much Music VJ, I think Rachel? Just a bad fit for the crowd. Throwing bottles was pretty common back then. Happened at a lot of festivals like this, I was there somewhere in this crowd!
Thank you so much for uploading this absolute epic concert! My two most favourite bands on the same stage in their relatively early days. Wow. I saw J.E.W. in 2022 and Blink 182 in 2023. They still got it, just like back in that Warped tour ‘99
I was a music writer for my college paper and got to interview Mark Hoppus on this tour (Pomona). He was really nice but was slightly annoyed/disappointed because the time slot they gave me was during Jimmy Eat World's set, and he told me he didn't like missing them.
