AboutMatt Maguire Expertise I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.
Question I was lucky enough to have cool parents that took me to that show when I was 8. I have heard that there is a bootleg recording of that show and I was wondering how would I go about getting my hands on one? Any help would be great. Thanks
Answer David --
A two day event that was covered by Smash TV from March 24th (the Zoo -- indoors, large crowd) through the 25th (the Groove Tube -- outdoors, few people), this Indiatlantic, Florida event has been distributed by fans on a bootleg called "A Day in the Sun". You used to be able to download the show at SublimeArchive.com, but Universal took all their stuff down when the box set was released. I'd recommend going to Skunk.com and asking on the Sublime message board. You're guaranteed to get someone to give it to you free there.
Here's some video from the event...spot any 8-year olds?
