For any aspiring musicians, this is a MUST. It really sets the bands standards, no matter how many people are there. People who enjoy it will also then begin to spread through word of mouth. There also might only be few people there, but one of them could be very important.

I still say Janes Addiction helped usher in that wave of high energy rock with Nothing Shocking coming out in 88 and then Ritual De Lo Habitual coming out in 90. I was born in 86 but I have been a fan since I was five or six. I remember having to sneak and watch MTV. My first ever favorite song was Under the bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I heard it on the radio and instantly loved it. I didn't know the meaning of the song but I felt the lonely sad hopeless emotion of it. If that makes any sense. My journey through music started the day I heard that song. Music meant something back then. You had to be a real fan to know anything besides their music. Some of it total bullshit told to you by a friend that you later learned was bullshit but it was all part of the process of being a fan.

Remembering also directly entering the dancefloor and getting into the Rage. From that day on I can‘t keep on me, when listening to them - even getting 50 years old now… I‘m a lucky guy, have been young that times!

I can't even imagine how crazy it must have been to hear them for the first time back then. I would have been so completely blown away by that new incredible sound. No one could ever capture that same uniqueness ever again.

I doubt some random hero in the audience just stuck around and filmed the entire thing with a home video camera just on a whim. I think they probably recorded it themselves.
