2 Days of Rancid

Two days, two awesome shows. Playing a 1 hour set each day, including some acoustic songs, Rancid blew their audiences away at Emo’s Austin. Thei played a bunch of songs from all their albums including some Operation Ivy songs, managing to distribute their “Hits” pretty evenly across both days, so if you went to only one show you still got a good deal. If one night they played Time Bomb, the other they played Ruby Soho, if you got Roots Radicals, the next day got Salvation, etc.

I had tickets for the first day and after witnessing the show and the insane crowd, I began pondering if I should go the the Monday showing, after much thinking I decided to do so. I don’t regret it.
