SHLOG House of Pain w/ Rage Against the Machine
@ State Theatre

April 2, 1993: Detroit, MI

This show easily goes down as one of my most memorable, if not best, concerts. I would feel the same if I had walked out after the opening act...

One could have felt bad for House of Pain after this show. They were the headliners and their opener was a little known (completley unknown to us)--Rage Against the Machine.  Rage was simply awesome.  The only "Pain" felt after Rage's performance was surely with those that were down in the pit for their performance.  We were up in the balcony, and given my 125 pound feather-weight status, that was probably for the best. 

To Everlast and company's defense, it wasn't that they were bad--I don't think anyone could have followed Rage that night.
