Thanks OP! Great footage, I was there that night with a couple buddies. The opening band was called Bump and got booed so much they shortend their set and left the stage early lol. For the record when I went there that night I had no idea who Sublime was. It sure would be great to see more footage of this show since my memories are in bits and pieces.
Foreman looks like a guy who would have to leave the show early for a frat meeting about intramural volleyball and crushing those nerds in the Tri-Lamb house!!!
Awesome! That security guard, despite doing his job, is still a wanker though and should be ashamed of himself for forcing your hand to stop recording. Literally a decision he made in the moment that wouldn’t have affected a single goddam thing in the trajectory of either band, Sublime or No Doubt. What a bozo that person was/is! Not thinking of the future of the availability of Sublime’s rare live catalog at all. 😂
I’m 44 now, and was just a couple years too young to ever experience Sublime live despite them playing in my old CA hometown multiple times. Still, their music soundtracked my high school life in the mid 90s. So many core memories attached to their songs. There’s an eerie nostalgic sense when I watch home videos of 90s concerts like this and the behind the scenes clips from that era. It’s a whole other world that doesn’t and will not ever exist again. Grateful to have been there, but it’s sad to know how downhill the world has gone since. The 90s were the last frontier. And I don’t think some of the folks born after that decade but who opine for that era of nostalgia, would be able to hang with how gritty things really were back then. No shade just an observation based off of the juxtaposition to how social interactions flowed back then compared to today- just like I would have a hard time being a teen in today’s social media era.
Hahaha this is bizarre - I'm in this video. I remember my friend and I were like, who are these clowns filming themselves? And there's our 16-year-old side-eyes preserved for posterity.
Thank god I got to see them live. 1985 Old World in Huntington Beach, LOL. No stage. A one-foot raised platform. They still killed it. Jumping all over the place. I was right in their faces, and I didn't even need to go onstage. Amazing band.
