Last weekend NOFX played a set of sold-out shows at the legendary Fillmore Theatre in San Francisco. Support for Friday night consisted of The Bombpops, Old Man Markley, and No Use For a Name, while Saturday’s lineup changed with Ellwood, Old Man Markley, and Lagwagon.
I was lucky enough to make the Friday night show, unfortunately I missed the majority of The Bombpops’ set, due to idiot San Francisco drivers.
As I arrived, I quickly settled in, beer and camera in hand, for Old Man Markley. The band opened up with a great drinking song, “The Party Shack”, and warmed the stage with other tracks such as “Guts ‘n’ Teeth”, “Living & Learning”, and more.
End of set. Beer refill. Repeat. This time with No Use For a Name.
The guys set the tone with “Not Your Savior”, and followed with some favorites like “Dumb Reminders” and “Coming Too Close”.
What can I say about NOFX’s set. It was pretty amazing. Midway through, the guys slowed things down with a great cover of Rancid’s “Radio”, before Fat Mike ripped into “The Quitter”. And no night would be complete without Eric Melvin amusing the crowd with his wonderful accordion skills.
