Sublime's 1986 Concert History

Sublime is an American reggae punk band from Long Beach, California. Formed in 1988, the original lineup consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass), and Bud Gaugh (drums). Lou Dog, Nowell’s Dalmatian, served as the band’s mascot. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996, which led to the group’s initial breakup. In 1997, several of the band’s songs, including "What I Got", "Santeria", "Wrong Way", "Doin’ Time", and "April 29, 1992 (Miami)", received radio airplay in the United States.

This Sublime concert was missing from the list in 1994 I know this because I played the show. I played in a band called crutch cane we were the opener at Dream Street in San Diego. We literally hung out with Lou dog in the van before the show, and after we played our set Brad and their bass player approached me and mentioned that they thought we were the best new ska Punk stuff coming out of Southern California, they gave me their home numbers and told me to get a hold of them for touring purposes. I tried and tried and tried but was never able to get a hold of anyone except for their mothers. Good Times a long time ago God bless you guys and rest in peace Brad.
