This was before RATM's first album released, they had just formed months before.

Zach threw demo tapes into the audience, one of which hit me on the forehead. And later, Eddie Vedder stage dove and I reached out and touched his fingers.

I didn't know Rage toured with them. That is definitely several gallons of Rock Awesome. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:49 5
- They might not have. For all I know, it may have been a case of PJ giving the spot to a local band. (RATM are from LA) -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 12:52 4
  - it definitely sounds likely. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:53 3
    - Imagine the first time you hear RATM being at a concert for a more traditional band like PJ. - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 12:57 2
      - I still remember listening to their first album on a dubbed cassette and just being blown away. nm - Dignan Dec 22, 13:04
      - I don't know if they get enough credit from the kids now a days for being as different as they were. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 13:02
