Show Details
Location:

Date:
September 28, 1991
Notes:
Lookout #36: "Anyway, it's 3 o'clock in the morning and I just got back from a GREEN DAY show at the Phoenix Theater up in Petaluma. They played a lot of stuff from their new album, and the crowd was going wild, at one point completely taking over the stage and stopping the show. But that's not unusual with Green Day; what was unusual was the degree of assholeism practiced by the other band on the bill, a kind of joke-funk band called DISCIPLES OF ED that few people outside Sonoma County have heard of. But in their own minds, Disciples of Ed are the next RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS (instead of the 647th bad imitation of that already mediocre band) and deserving of full star treatment They had their goons clear out the entire backstage area because they didn't want to
have to rub shoulders with anything resembling a human beirig. They had Green Day booted out, even though Green Day probably brought half the crowd and are an infinitely better band. There's got to be something in a funk beat that breeds stupidity. The crowd was the worst I'd ever seen at the Phoenix too, the kind of whitebread gangbanger wannabees that you see hanging out in front of Burger Kings in hick towns all across America. Well, one thing you've got to admit, Disciples of Ed and their fans are well matched."
