I'll never forget sitting on the lawn at the Cal State Northridge Quad -- probably with about a dozen people -- had to have been 1990 or 1991. No Doubt playing all ska. Gwen Stefani jumping around in denim overalls and a bra. After the show, I chatted with her for 10 minutes or so. We talked about all kinds of music. She asked if I would help hand out flyers so we both went around the quad and handed them out. She gave me a hug and I said, "Good luck." I'm 47 now, and I think Gwen is right around 48, so it was just two 20-year-olds shooting the breeze. This is literally my one and only celebrity interaction, but it is true. Gwen Stefani worked that little concert like her life depended on it, and the quad started to fill up with people who were definitely thinking, "Huh, this is really good." And yes, she was stunningly attractive. I'm glad this young lady became such a star, because she was a total sweetheart on that day long ago.

Wow. Amazing story. She has always been such a sweetheart deep down, keeping to herself and her ideals. I really applaud her for not changing her body image, refusing to have breast implants and tattoos when nearly everyone in the entertainment industry is having it nowdays. She is graced with timeless beauty, a real gem.

Showcase theater and Spankys was the shit back then. Even the short lived junkyard. Memories of DRI, Agnostic Front, fuck we slammed some hard bands back then. They were a breath of fresh air though.

I wonder the same about the solo music shes been putting out these last bunch of years. I like it, but its definitely not ska. I wonder what made her change and why. While I love the older, mature and classy side of Gwen, I really miss this younger, wilder side of her. I saw ND and Bush play together in the mid 90s... she was running and jumping all over the place, dancing on top of amps.. etc. I haven't seen her perform live since then, only in videos.. it seems like she's more about the costume changes and putting on an actual "show" vs. just jamming out and going nuts with her (backup) band... which is a shame for people like me who love and miss this side of her. I mean, why not do both? She's not that old! lol ♥️

You're right, pablo. The self titled album and video for Trapped In A Box came out in 1992. The songs Trapped In A Box, Get On the Ball and Sinking were all written in 1991 so this definitely isn't 1990. This show is from the middle of 1992, just a few months after the first album was released. The video is labeled wrong.

I'm just researching the history of No Doubt now. They essentially peaked early and by the time main stream success came around they wrote a few hit songs but were mostly just playing old material and re-living a past for fans that weren't there the first time. Now I understand why they didn't continue their success longer.
