    We saw the show in Chico, in the Gazebo downtown park. They fenced it in because of the attendance. Sublime would frequently play Chico, venues like Juanitas, and Lava Lounge. Bradley's son, Jacob's solo band, just played at The Commons (Chico), after the Coachella. Yes, I still reside in Chico, CA.

    My dad and I rented the upstairs unit of the house for a year maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Really central spot and the neighbors were very nice but it would freak me out when people would stop their cars outside and just take pictures of our house often with us in the frame.

    Watched the video since I lived next to this house for a couple years when I first moved to SF in 82. It was black and owned by Jefferson Starship who, contrary to the video, changed their name in 1974. Also contrary to the video they didn’t sell until 1986. As another commenter mentioned, there was a mural on the ceiling of the portico that was pretty cool.

    Thanks for remembering Steven. I'm exactly the same age as his older brother who has taken more of history than he should've. Steven was a good kid, a brave kid and he suffered a lot. Growing up in San Francisco during the 60's onward there was so much going on and if any of us took time to really dwell on it too much, all the terrible things that were happening to people, to kids...we'd too scared all the time to actually function. It was amazing to see that a kid could come back and live his life. Thanks again for this video. He deserves to be remembered for the good kid that he was.

    When I was a child I was visiting my father in southern California. He has this flyer for some kind of festival in a park or whatever and there was what he thought was a led Zeppelin cover band playing. We went to it and Dad was pissed off because it was all reggae and ska stuff (this had to have been in like 91 or 92). The cover band ended up being dread zeppelin, Dad was disgusted by it, but I drew a picture for him on the back of the flyer. Many years later I was visiting my dad as an adult and he still had the picture on the wall. I looked at the flyer on the back and one of the bands I saw was sublime. I don't remember them but I freaked out as I was a sublime fan at this point and didnt even know that I had seen them live.

    Excellent video. I didn't know he lived on Parnassus or where the original Rolling Stone office were. Very cool. One correction. The Seal Rock is not where he wrote Fear and Loathing. He wrote it, or at least started it, at a hotel across the street from Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, Ca. while he was working on another article about the killing of Ruben Salazar, which is how he met his "attorney"
