I was there! Walked out of class and they were playing in front of the UH UC Satellite. Had no idea who they were. But I bought their CD and then went to see them at Fitzgerald's that night; I introduced myself to Gwen and Tony the bass player (as they were hawking swag). Never thought I'd see this on RUclips. Thanks!
@@hempchimp True, but cool nonetheless and very fitting for the type of band they were, and that moment in time as well. I'm not too sure about the two horn players wearing overalls and t-shirts though.
I was there this day!! I tell everyone that I saw No Doubt before anyone really knew who they were. I can’t believe this video exists!! This is pre-internet, pre-cell phones with cameras. 18-year old me was loving this, the band with the crazy dancing cheerleader. I saw Gin Blossoms here on another date. I’ll be looking for that video now. Saw a band called Green Apple Quick Steps from Seattle, just knew they were the next Nirvana. Really cool!
Pre-internet? Internet has been around since the late 70's. Cell phones since the early 70's. But no cameras on them. 2023 and cell cameras are still crap, lol.
@@scott8xxx532 I was the only one I personally knew that was online in the mid-80's. I was 10 years old, so I didn't know that many people. Very few people had cell phones and really didn't carry them since they were primarily bag phones used in vehicles. Of course they were just phones, no cameras, no texting. But a lot of people carried still film cameras and some had camcorders that recorded on VHS tapes, which is how this was probably recorded. Even I had a video camera. Video and audio files, even still images were too large for the bandwidth at the time. I connected at 300 baud (0.3kb/sec), which was a speed that started around 1962. At that speed it took over 5 hours to send a mere 5mb of data. But, devices capable of sending text messages over teletype printers came about in the 1880's. Im sure they were cost prohibitive to end consumers.
I really appreciate clips like this . I only became aware of no doubt when Tragic kingdom came out . Such good live performances . Revisiting during covid-19
Great vid. We saw them one month later on their first tour through Minneapolis MN. We were too young to get in, and the band snuck us in through the kitchen. My friend did an interview with Gwen, and we got to hang out, just four of us at a table for 20 minutes. The show was seriously maybe 60 people, and 20 of us to see ND! Amazing what they accomplished. The band snuck us in to another show the following year at First Ave"Prince famous club" as we were still under age. Good times!
I was there. I have looked for photos and video over the years. There were several concerts I saw at UH. Theirs was always memorable. It is funny, I could remember the yellow colored cheerleading outfit, but had forgotten it was Notre Dame. Thanks for uploading.
Walked out of geology class and ran into this. I thought she was the coolest thing I'd ever seen and wondered for the longest time what ever happened to the band. History in the making. LOL.
I was a member of the UH Student Program Board that set up this and all the other concerts at UH from 1991-1997 or so. This was a fun one. As far as not allowing the filming, that was part of the performance agreement. The University paid for them to play, but not for them to be filmed. That costs extra. We booked so many awesome bands at UH then, between the individual concerts at the UC and the satellite, and the Perpetual Park Parties that were 12 hour fests in Lynn Eusan Park. Good times.
Now just imagine, grunge was exploding as they were touring the US playing this happy sounding music and dressed like a bunch of nerds. It's a miracle No Doubt survived as a band and weren't dropped by their label. Luckily, ska hit it big a few years later and the rest is history...
Well they almost were if it wasn’t for tragic kingdom they wouldn’t have made it. Also tragic kingdom was shelved for like a year or 2 they barley made it. I think if it wasn’t for sublime they wouldn’t have made it.
My sister used to follow No Doubt in the late 80’s and early 90’s. She went to school with Adrian Young and he invited her to see the band one time and she became a fan. She ended up going to college in NYC in 1991. She told me she didn’t really like Tragic Kingdom cause it wasn’t as ska as they used to be. Lol
Oooo! I haven’t heard Aladdin in over 20 years! I saw them at an armory in Utah a couple of years after this. Still one of the most fun shows I’ve ever seen.
I am just now seeing this. Very cool to see the origins of these bands that go on to mega success. Looks similar to Rage Against The Machine first public performance in Cali.
No Doubt played my sober grad night at Disneyland in ‘95. A bunch of my classmates who were into the music scene were hyped and talked me into watching them. I just remember them all wearing white clothes and killing it.
I wonder if any if any of those ppl there thought that Gwen would make it and be where she is today. Oh and wait a mnt. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! I had to add that in.
Your comment made me remember something that happened to me. Back in the mid to late 80's I was supposed to go to California to visit a friend. This friend bought 2 tickets to a concert with a band who was just starting to get real attention. That band was The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I wasn't able to make the trip. Shortly after I was talking to him on the phone and I asked how the concert was. He said the Chili Peppers were great, as expected. Then he told me the 2 opening bands, that nobody had ever heard of, were also great and he said both of them were going places. Those 2 opening bands were Pearl Jam and Nirvana. In 1978 I was in Dallas for the 1st Texxas Jam. This was the 1st of what was supposed to be a huge annual event. Ted Nugent, Heart, Aerosmith, Journey and Head East were the "big names" that I went to see. But I'll never forget one of the opening bands. "Texas, give a big welcome. From Los Angeles, California. Van Halen!!!!!" I had never heard of them before that.
I’m guessing a lot of the complainers on this video haven’t heard their self titled album. No doubt had to work hard, and *gasp* suck to become the No Doubt the whole world knows and loves today.
@@wilfordgrimley4339 I'll say that their edge was lost over the years but I just think it's part of any band. They found their real sound and their style and dropped A LOT of hits. Unfortunately everyone goes pop after a while.
Good shit, only just got into their older ska sooo good jamming it at work. When she sold out her music died. But not the first 3 albums and gigs before.
talk about luck, imagine you are in a run-of-the-mill rock band in the early 90s and then you get this absolute gorgeous blonde bombshell who can really sing wanting to be your singer, you would know your chances of success just went up about 200,000%
Gwen Stefani didn't audition for No Doubt, she was one of the founding members. Her older brother Eric started No Doubt but left just as they started to get attention. He had other things he wanted to pursue. So, Gwen Stefani is the only person who's been with the band since the very start. Get this, in the beginning she was the backup vocalist. They had a male lead vocalist who committed suicide. They almost broke up but decided to move on. They found a new lead vocalist, another male, but he left. That's when Gwen took over the vocals. Even though Eric Stefani no longer performed with the band, he still contributed to their music. He's credited with several of their better songs.
@@the80sgamerfilms I think you might have misheard what happened or somebody got mixed up. It was the original lead vocalist who died. He committed suicide
Eric Stefani left the band to become the animator of the Simpsons! Whose writer at the time was Conan o'Brien for which No Doubt debut their first TV apearance! 😛😎
This is cool. Saw them a month later at California State University Fullerton on a lunch date with my now wife. I see you go lots of shots of Eric and Gwen.
I was there! Very surprising this video exists! THANK YOU for verifying my memory. I'm sure I was playing pool and eating Pizza Hut personal pan right before AND after. (❁´◡`❁)
Whoa! The famous and ever so lovely Monique May. Still a fan to this day. I miss seeing you at events. I think I have a video of you on RUclips at a HIN down in Texas gogo’n. 🥰
Saw them early 90s in Reseda, CA @ “The Country Club” with SKAnking Pickle, Let’s Go Bowling and others. Gwen stage dove and caused melee of guys punching other guys that tried to grope her as she was being carried around.
My friend got this album from a DJ at KLOL that was like … we don’t know what to do with this music, maybe you kids will like it… we did, it was so different than everything else at the time. 4 years later every band at my high school had ska vibes
It was actually kind of annoying in the 90s, you'd have to dodge a whole bunch of ska bands on the way to class. You'd just be cutting across the quad and have make a detour because Reel Big Fish was playing. I'm glad it's toned down these days.
The donkey show was a really good ska band with a good female singer around at the same time as them also from SoCal They were real and so good, classy they were. They never became famous only one album. So cool.
I love donkey show! I actually preferred Their sound over no doubt. I love kym clift and ray campbells vocals. I wish they had released more than an ep..😔

No clue why this was in my recommended vids, but this is really fucking cool.
Back when they were touring with another unknown at the time band, Sublime
This makes sense. You have to realize that in the 90s, there were ska bands playing on college campuses on any given day.
it is not like today where it is over saturated...bands Fugazi used o do free shows at parks in DC

Now everything offends everyone on college campuses.

do you remember which building this happened in front of? I went to UH but dont recognize the building.

Dave Grohl escaped the Nirvana recording sessions of In Utero to take a break and play sax for an upcoming ska band from SoCal
Oh my God I don't think you're kidding it's hard to tell by the graininess of the film whatever but that is him I think Dave grohl wow cool

LOL, I didn't even look at the comments yet and first thing I thought that it was Dave Grohl on sax. Good I was not the only one that see's this LOL
Looks like Kevin Hart on bass, and Johnny Knoxville on keyboards...
That unknown male voice, just before the video stopped recording saying, "Be quiet, this is a campus...",
was the campus interruptus.
that was a fun day at the Satellite lounge for sure! A buddy of mine and I rounded it out with watching them at Fitzgeralds!
Nice. This is about two years after I graduated from this school. Used to eat lunch out on that patio area
Miss these days. So many great bands would play random free shows all over Houston in the 90's. It was the best time ever.
For some reason Gwen makes me think of Rayanne Graff from My so called life here. Great footage btw!

Many great performances from Gwen over the years, but these early years showcase her raw talent. Pretty awesome talent in the band as well!
