Incomplete setlist
Ben Saari: "Word got out. The last show before they signed the contract was in Petaluma at the Phoenix Theater. There were tons of people. Everybody knew the next day they were signing the deal with the devil and everything would suck. They would be sellouts, nobody could be friends with them, they would be on tour forever, they would blow up. Things would get really good for them. And people were aware that this was also gonna bring in a whole new level of attention to what we had been doing."
The Daily Cougar: "One person [Brian Zero] even went so far as to hold a protest against the band's signing at a June 17 concert at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, Calif., calling for the club's patrons to walk out when the band played. 'Yeah, some guy came out and expressed his views about major labels, some of which were pretty valid,' says Billie Joe. 'I have to give him some credit. He wasn't a belligerent drunk - he expressed himself intelligently. I mean, if I saw the guy, I'd still want to spit in his face. No one walked out.'"
Chris Appelgren: "When they did sign, I remember they played a show in a nearby town, Petaluma, where some punk types actually picketed. I didn't go but the story is interesting as the show was with Nuisance - their last actually - and that was overshadowed by demonstration against Green Day..."
