Rancid Aquabats at Warfield on Saturday 9/27/2008

Well...



That was fantastic.



My forearms are bruised, I've got a small black eye and I cannot stop smiling when I think about that show. It was so much better than when the Slackers opened for them at the Warfield a couple years ago.



The crowd was really into the Aquabats, who played lots of my favorite songs, tossed kids into the crowd, and declared their love of Rancid.



Rancid was great. They sounded superb. Their bass player has to be the best in the genre. Maxwell Murder was killer.



I sweated buckets, managed to never get knocked down, got up to the front a couple of times, and generally enjoyed myself. My son and his friends were way into it as well.



Any other eye witness reports?
