This geezer was there! I had moved from Atlanta within the prior year and was disappointed no one seemed to know Vic Chesnutt or care. He got a really mild crowd response. Fugazi was excellent, and I was in heaven close to the stage. Ahh, the halcyon days of yore.

Great show, great day.
Some kids were fucking up the portapotties and someone from Fugazi gets on the mic and says something along the lines of

“punks always got to fuck up the bathroom, whats the sense in that”

The permits and regulations are obscenely expensive i hear, I’m hired to do the sound there for 2-4 events a year and i can say that…
A>rad idea, no brainer, shows should be a regular thing at the park
B>even with money it will never ever never happen because of the neighbors.

I saw them in 2000, and it was fucking awesome. And yes, a Belle & Sebastian show in the park would be indescribably better than the enormous thing out on the Island. Especially in this weather!

I remember it well. It was a fundraiser for Food Not Bombs and it happened ONE DAY after I’d moved to SF. I can still remember my internal dialog:

“Okay! Here I am in this awesome new city. It’s my first weekend here and I don’t know a soul. I wonder if I can find something cool and cheap going on!”

*picks up flyer*

“Holy fucking shit.”

Funny thing: damn near everyone I’m now friends with who was in SF at that time was at that show, though I didn’t know them yet.

It was a madhouse for the time, but not by today’s standards. It was a great show.

I went to that show. So rad. Vic Chesnut played too. It was crowded, but not really a madhouse. You could walk right up to the stage without pushing through any crowd. I remember Ian Mackaye telling people to stop moshing and to go throw some bricks through bank windows. I’ve got some photos of this show somewhere.

I remember that Fugazi show…June of 2000 I believe. It was a madhouse and was also a bit of a somber affair for many of us who had just had a good friend pass away two days earlier.
