I have a different version of this flier. It's pretty similar to the one above but mine is signed by Scott and Tom. Got it from someone who attended the show at Benway Bop's record store. I also have a story to tell from that day in my records, shared by someone who attended the show.

Here's the flier:

1996-04-25-Las-Vegas-NV-Benway-Bop-1-Fli

Quote

It was a free instore. No charge or ticket. I saw Blink 182 play there and they played a metal song because I was the only guy there with long hair so they made me feel welcome 🥰🤘🏻


This day was very special because blink played two shows on the same day. Earlier on that day they played at the Alumni Amphitheatre at the University of Las Vegas, NV

1996-04-25 Las Vegas, NV - Alumni Amphitheatre. University Of Nevada, Las Vegas

1996-04-25-Las-Vegas-NV-Alumni-Amphithea

My contact said to me that he attended both shows on the same day. They played at Alumni Amphitheatre and later on that evening at Benway Pop

There's something wrong about this date. Can't be 1996. Neither 1995/1997/1998. The 12th of September was never a wednesday in any of those years. Can you provide a link to the source of the flier? - I'd like to investigate this a bit more.

no, i zoomed in and that is not a camcorder. remember this is 1997, no digital. it's a still film camera.

Here, the post says that it's from 1996. In September 1996, they were touring Canada before the Warp Tour in Japan (as we have proof of shows that took place during that particular time).

We had the flyer and the full video for this show and now we have the poster (huge credits again to Montreal Concert Poster Archive!)

10/2/1997: The band performs at Le Spectrum in Montreal, Quebec.

Awesome thanks!. There's still something wrong about that flier, maybe they got the day of the week wrong on the flier?. Could be that the show never happened? - I will let you know if I ever figure it out.

I wanted to share this picture from my archives folder, an unseen picture of the Enema of The State photoshoot with Janine Lindemulder!

Found cool story about a photo that was used in Cheshire Cat :

https://mahi.ucsd.edu/kkey/more.html

brian_copy.jpg

 

This photo of my old roomate Brian was used by the punk band Blink-182 on their first cd "Chesire Cat". I lived with Brian and Blink's guitarist, Tom Delonge, in a San Marcos apartment. We put Brian inside a cardboard box with his legs sticking out the back. This shot was done in our dinning room. Brian popped the lenses out of his sunglasses and smeared vaseline on his face to make himself shiny. And of course, he's wearing a wig. Brian currently has this great job testing video games for Bally-Midway.

This Day 23 years ago

26-5-1998 The band perform at gold coast

 

Found Review for blink-182 reading 2003

The Reading festival is the first festival I've ever been to and it was brilliant. Blink 182 were amazing and i had a fantastic time - I'd definitely go back and I'd definitely recommend it to people. If I have anything negative to say its that £4 for 3 bottles of water and £5 for 2 99 ice-creams seems a bit too expensive when the entrance fee costs £40 or £96.

New show surfaced online!

3/8/1998: The band performs at State Theatre in Portland, Maine.

Wow 😮 😮 😮

Added to the timeline!

Cool fact : this must be probably one of the very first live performances (if not) of the song "Mutt", the song was released in February 1998 on the Taylor's Steele's surf video "The Show"

I wonder why there's not much footage of that tour as this is the second full show that we have from that tour (the other footage being 2/23/1998) hmmm

In comparison, we have more than 9 footage from the Warped Tour 1997!
