A major punk band for over two decades, Social Distortion came out of Los Angeles's active hardcore scene of the late '70s and early '80s. Their first album, Mommy's Little Monster, appeared in 1983 and featured the song "Another State of Mind," which aired as one of a few punk videos on mid-'80s MTV. Since then, Social Distortion have further developed their mix of punk and rockabilly with such songs as "Ball and Chain," "Bad Luck" and "Reach for the Sky." To this day, Social Distortion remain one of punk's most exciting and vital bands. Over the course of their career, Social Distortion have brought many venues to capacity, like Observatory North Park and the Mission Ballroom.

I thought the concert was great, it had great energy, simple and to the point without all the frills
This was an excellent show from the opening band (Love Crimes), to the venue, to the Social D and Bad Religion playing over forty years of music to a nostalgic crowd.
I loved the show Both bands did great bad religion has not lost a beat
Great show in a terrible venue that once was a great venue. For some reason this show was held in the parking lot on a terrible stage. The inside stage has always been a great place for an intimate experience. Not sure why they did this, but I will not go to another show there unless I am assured it won’t be in that parking lot.
The venue was horrible. Stuck us outside with hundreds of people. If I new I never would had bought the tickets. I couldn't see anything. Was basically background music
both bands played very well. The venue was way oversold don’t think they were prepared for the crowd they get received, and it was total pain to get a drink go to the bathroom and so forth.
Bad religion came out and kicked me in the teeth and was relentless for an hour plus non stop. One of the best performances I have ever seen. Social D was as good as ever. Worth every penny!
I believe Mike Ness was drunk. Slurring the lyrics and babbling between songs. The tempo of the songs were slowed to accommodate his poor performance. I gave two stars for the effort. Thank you for not skipping South Florida, as most tours do.
Social Distortion is a great band. The venue was garbage. Who wants to go see a band in a parking lot. Surrounded by parking garages. If you needed to get a soft drink or beer the lines were outrageously long. Or even worse if you had to use the rest room in this venue’s case it was a disgusting port o podie. That venue was a waste of time and money.
VIP was a complete waste of extra money. The viewing area was terrible. If you wanted to see the stage, in the super VIP area, they forced you to purchase a bottle of liquor for $250. Lame! Never again!!
The bands were absolutely amazing, but the venue was a disaster. When I bought my ticket, it said it was in “The Backyard” which has bars and bathrooms. They moved the event to the parking lot and had port-o-potties. To make things worse, they packed us in so tight that we could not tell where a line for anything started. There were no trash cans, garbage everywhere, people tripping over parking blocks and curbs. I will not go back to the venue again. It appears Revolution Live is on borrowed time and it shows. There is a sign for a high rise to be built in its current location.
Awesome show! Bad Religion and Social Distortion can still rock it out! All bands were great. Lovecrimes was great.
The music was fantastic- the venue was overwhelmed! Bad drinks situation - not enough staff - spent all night in a line….so disappointed Revolution didn’t come thru for Social D and Bad Religion:-(
Although I love both Social D and Bad Religion I feel that this was the worst time seeing both. I say this for a few reasons. First, the location was terrible for it. You had a fenced-off parking lot which limited your space and mobility. Unless you get in early you were either stuck trying to pry your way to a decent location or left out in no man's land. Second, the audio was not the greatest for the location. There are trees in multiple spots which blocked some of the audio levels and clarity. I walked multiple areas and some were better than others. Lastly, the drinks options. There were very limited areas to buy drinks and if you got in line it was 20+mins to get a drink. Combine that with the tightness of the area and you couldn't tell where the line was half the time. Also the prices were stupid. Four double whiskeys was $120 not including tips. Ridiculous.
The show was great, weather was perfect and view was nice.
Social Distortion was all I hoped it would be. First time seeing them in concert, did not disappoint. Had shared the show with "Bad Religion". Nowhere near as good. Had wished the whole show was SD.
Social Distortion show at St. Augustine Amp was Epic!!
They are definitely getting along in age, and Mike has been struggling with his own health battles for some time now. While the show sounded ok, it was not the same energy I have come accustomed to at a SD show. Maybe next time will be better.
Awesome show. The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is very easy to get around and there are never a lot of long lines. Social Distortion was great and so was Bad Religion.
Great venue to see these two classic punk bands. A little bummed about the Social D setlist- how do they not play Story of My Life on this tour is a mystery - but a fun evening nonetheless.
