Adolescents - May 2, 1987

I do remember being at this one - mostly because after which the band was roaming the streets of downtown Sacramento and asked us what there was to do here in the late hours. "Nothing" was our reply. They were a band whose work I knew and liked before seeing them for the first time -great teenage angsty material. Memories are terribly infallible, yet I think this was also the evening where a buddy and I were sucker punched and almost knocked out cold. By the time we stood up, the assailants were gone. No serious injuries and I believe we took a pair of girls home with us, so not a bad evening on the whole.

Agent Orange - March 25, 1988

Agent Orange - another legend I never particularly warmed to though their music was a staple with the skater crowd I ran skated with. Also note the Chili Peppers in 1988 - though they already had three albums out by then, they were at their very best in these early days.

Poster version with the addition of I.G.D. (Infectious Garage Disease) - an ensemble that didn't take off.
