Sublime at Palookaville, Santa Cruz, CA

[@ms.jessadventures]

I feel so blessed that i was at this show. Literally one of best shows ever. So glad someone recorded it with Camcorder. 🎥

[@Lady-lg7ow]

I have been in love with Sublime since the beginning. My children were both born after Brad's passing but know every song. Oddly enough my husband and I rescued an odd pup that needed us.,..his name is Lou Dog! Oh and he also LOVES SUBLIME ❤

[@erikandele8385]

I moved from Downey to Knoxville TN in 93 and introduced so many people to Sublime. 40oz of Freedom blew their little country minds. I Loved this band so much it was just 90’s perfection.

[@chriswiz8629]

Man why have I never seen this before today? So good live, Bradley’s voice is one of the tops of that era and he’s in some good company to say the least. Big thank you to whoever posted this. Maybe your holding out on some more epic footage? So many great ones die young…tragic!!!

I've always known it deep down, but Bradley & Sublime are a greater musical influence than I realize. I'm from STRONG BEACH too, but that's not as important as simply recognizing their incredible creativity & originality. TRUE TALENT. Tragic loss.

Bradley was so effortless such a genius. He made it look real real easy but it’s not.

[@greatestytcommentator]

incredible, this is the first time I've seen them live and not shitfaced.. What a talented man he was.

[@christophernoyer5381]

Overrated guitar player. Great songwriter! Saw them twice and he was sloppy drunk or high both times. I think they would have faded away like the rest of the ska-punk bands from the 90s had he not died. Brad dying froze them in that time stature.

[@xp7575]

​​​​​@@christophernoyer5381no, song writing being more important than technical instrument talent is the foundation of punk, Sublime had the best drummer and best bass player and best singer slash songwriter in the entire history of punk, I've been listening to all sorts of punk and punk adjacent forms of music for 40 years now and Sublime is easily th best out of every generation of the culture and it's a shame that we lost him because he full of so much creativity that I have no doubt they would have continued writing and recorded and releasing brilliant music for years

Had the pleasure of seeing them 3 timed. Never finished a show. Bass player fell off the stage once. I believe Brad passed out the other 2 times lol

Man Bradley was so talented, such an excellent voice. I was fortunate enough to see them on the first warp tour in myrtle beach SC in like 94ish. He was trashed but still cool to see them. Gone way too soon.

Bud the drummer was the most talented out of all

[@slashtrio]

@@StuffedBearSus oh yea? Perhaps. But I don’t think he could have created and done these songs and had what success they had without Bradley, whereas the opposite is very likely true.

Caught them on the warped tour 94 I think. maybe 95, face to face and L7 were headliners. No use for a name, Guttermouth were fantastic and just finished their set when I walked back inside and there was Sublime, three fat ( with LOVE) white guys, shirtless, playing the smoothest reggae really loud. I was mesmerized. Only knew them w Date Rape which was getting radio airplay in my area. So lucky to catch them, im not from CA.

A bunch of my friends in Napa had tickets to that show. I believe was the Maritime Hall in SF? Anyways, my friends had the opportunity to either go to the Phoenix Theater show in Petaluma the night before, which ended up being their last show, or the Maritime show the following night. They chose the SF show because the Phoenix doesn’t have a liquor license and there would be no alcohol at the show. So those dopes missed Sublime’s last concert because of fucking beer.
