Mid-late 90s, Shudder To Think comes through Mpls-St Paul and plays the indie coffee shop I worked at. Motoroil Industrial Coffee, punk rock shows in the basement. It was so amazing. The bands would hang out at the coffee bar before shows, I remember Craig, he had an aura. X-French T Shirt blew my mind.
When you played the guitar or the bass in FNM in that era, you had move on stage, sure, but keep it restricted to leave a boulevard for Mike to bounce around like a wild animal :D
It’s so weird seeing them playing this small venue because even then they had such a big and professional sound that just makes sense in a huge hall with crowd surfers and people singing along
I was at this show and I still can't believe I got to see Patton with Dillinger. I didn't get into the band until 2010 and I was far too young to experience the early days. And now, as of Sunday, I got to see them play a whole show with Dimitri, too... collected performances from all three vocalists like fuckin Infinity Stones.
Looking at their show archives, seems like this could have been 1 of 5 shows: 6/28 - Brand New's first show w/Taking Back Sunday and ThisYearsModel 08/03 - w/ Stopwatch and Cableknit Cowboy 11/01 - w/ Stopwatch and Still Small Voice 11/26 - w/ On the Might of Princes, Explosivo, and Contra 12/23 - w/ The Reunion Show and Stopwatch Judging by the fact he mentions people having to wait outside that got there at 5:00, id say its likely not 11/26, which started at 2:00 PM Judging by the "oldie but a goodie" comment before My Nine Rides Shotgun (and the fact they have demos available) i'd say it being footage from the first ever show is a no go as well. Narrows it down to 3 shows, and funnily enough, a 100% chance they played with Stopwatch that night lol web.archive.org/web/20010218235647/www.brandnewrock.com:80/archived_shows.php
