Earth Crisis live show 1-18-1997 St. Petersburg, FL

[@jesseclemente6196]

hardcore fun fact: this is the show that reversal of man wrote "get the kid with the sideburns" about.

[@DrummerEvan1]

Wow...its real

[@HamFang]

Holy crap. I was at this show. This was at The Refuge. I went into Alternative Records a day or two after this and someone had pinned the Firestorm 7" on the corkboard with an X on the cover and a ziplock baggie with the pieces of the smashed record taped to it.

I actually filmed this, wow. I was hoping this made it online one day. I lost all of my tapes long ago. Before the band even started, a few guys (that I may or may not know) jumped the guys. So this starts with the fight, and band members standing on merch tables looking for them. After that, there's a bunch of whiny "can't we all just get along" speeches (it was actually a Christian place) and eventually the band played.

I was at this show. Karl saying something to the effect of, "You dissed my boys in VOD" was pure gold.

“Get the Kid With the Sideburns” was written quickly one Saturday afternoon in Jeff’s parent’s living room while they were away on vacation. It was a response to the prior weekend’s “all out war” with Earth Crisis. Here’s the actual story: We showed up to their show dressed as the village people. EC wasn’t stoked, so they had their south Florida minions come after us. A bunch of tough guys against a bunch of skinny, punk nerds. Makes sense, right? But all they could get their hands on was my afro wig. End of action. Once EC began setting up, they asked the venue to turn out the lights. My buddy Charlie spoke up and said something to the effect of, “So you can try to fight us again in the dark?” Those words sparked a riot. Instantly, multiple factions were fist fighting…and at one point, Karl from EC jumps up on top of their merch table, spots me in the crowd without my wig, exposing my patchy sideburns, and yells, “Get the kid with the sideburns.” John Willey, our drummer, happened to be fighting their guitarist next to that table. He fell to the ground, rolled under it, ultimately making it collapse, Karl and all, on top of the two of them. By that point, we were all making a beeline out the threshold to safety. “Get the Kid with the Sideburns” was a staple in our set from 1998 to 2000."

Get The Kid With The Sideburns

[@ERICF66]

Music starts at 8:50 after a bunch of tough guy bullshit.

[@rgnd]

what happened exactly?

[@TBone2000Man]

Does anyone have the setlist

[@armandobarajasjr]

Great audio! Shame that in the 90s so many boycotted EC, for wrong or made up reasons. Has any other band in the history of the planet brought more people to veganism?

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

For every 1 they brought in they made another 2 never want anything to do with veganism or straight edge.

[@jorgeluispadron9156]
