NOFX Final Tour (Saarbruecken, Germany)

Got tickets to see NOFX’s final tour and man was it great. The venue in Saarbruecken was fantastic, easy drive in and so different than the states. Parking was free, walked in and walked out. So refreshing to see this kind of support from the community versus having to pay $20 or $40 for parking. Opening bands were The Meffs out of the UK and the Circle Jerks.

Squirrel moment:

So here’s my Keith Morris story. I was at the Frankfurt Airport and saw Keith, at the time….kinda caught me off guard. Descendents were touring at the time and saw some of the support folks travelling with gear. I ended up running into Keith and was like “I know you!!”….couldn’t remember where, but he just said he was from Los Angeles and walked off. Of course I probably followed him just a tad trying to remember where the hell I knew him from. Nothing crazy, but wish he would have just said….yeah, I was in Black Flag or Circle Jerks. Anyways, whatever. Nothing more here. He did the right thing and just walked off.

Of course it’s always great to see Greg Hetson from Circle Jerks and Bad Religion on stage. That’s a treat in itself.

We went to the show to see NOFX and it was not disappointing. They played their asses off and it was really a great to be able to see one of their final shows. I’m hopeful they get back together at somepoint, but had to make sure we mad this show. The band was spot on and played their 40 songs for 40 years. Loved it and of course the band is entertaining as hell. Quote of the night and so fucking true is that “America was saved by a Porn Star”.

Some pictures from the show. They had a bigger banner later, “Bigger, but not better”…..hahaha. Classic.
