Bad Religion

The Vandals

Great show.  Kelvin and I got here just as the Vandals started at 9:15pm.  They had a short set due to the line-up that night (Joe Sib speech after them), but oh what a setlist.  I couldn’t have chosen a better one.  All songs Hitler Bad, Vandals Good or older included Anarch Burger, Urban Cowboy, And Now We Dance (my favorite), People That Are Going To Hell and Ape Drape.   Vandals always put on a fun show.  And yes, Warren sung a song at the end. It wasn’t I Have A Date as exected, but instead a Queen song.

Joe Sib gave a fifteen minute talk on California Calling and then at 10:30, the Bad Religions came out.  To the crowd’s delight, as it was Easter Sunday, their bassist Jay Bentley dressed up as the Easter Bunny,  haha.  I’m impressed he kept that suit on the entire show.  Photo credit to Kelvin on the above BR shot. Muuuch better crowd this night (far fewer meatheads) and a great setlist.  Old, new, rare.  In the middle of the set some blonde girl started flailing her arms, pretty much attacking me out of nowhere.  I was able to block the blows and fended her off before she calmed down/security told her to GTFO.  I guess she mistook me for someone who hit her in the pit.  A guy next to me just looked at me with a “Crazy bitch!” look about her.  And a crowd surfer’s foot made contact with  my mouth…stupid crowd surfers.  No bruies from this show, however, just a good time.
