This was a big night at the Palladium. We had seen Fugazi a few nights before in Santa Barbara, in a much smaller venue that was absolutely packed to the gills. When we got to the Palladium, all the stars of the SoCal punk/alternative were out in force. I recall we weren't big fans of The Offspring, and obviously had no idea of what they'd become a couple of years later. We were up on the balcony for Fugazi, and out of the corner of my eye I noticed this guy behind me was just rocking out - totally losing his mind. I turned around and it was Flea from the Chili Peppers.

I must say this was a pretty forgettable show, especially after the Jawbone Canyon thing just a couple days before. The spirit of a band like Fugazi is lost in a large venue like the Palladium.
