Bad Brains Opened for The Beastie Boys

The first "real" concert I ever went to, besides "The Janitors Against Apartide" (hippie band from Quincy that played Ramones covers) I think the year was 1994 or 1995. The location was in Sacramento at Cal Expo. Two car loads of mountain folk kids headed to the big booming metropolis of Sac town. Found some guy in the parking lot that said hed make the concert a lot better if we ate these. Dude seemed legit. Ill never forget H.R. and Dr. Know spray painting themseleves and each other while playing and singing. The dreads on these guys were probobly the first Id ever seen in person and they were now glowing with all the paint. After that show I was hooked on the Punk rock and my love for the Beastie Boys slowly started to wither away.
