1998 was a great year for hardcore. Seriously. It was a great year personally for me, no doubt, but 98 was beyond compare for the core. I know it sounds ridiculous when you compare it to 86 or 88, but roll with me on this one. The Youth Crew Revival was in it’s up swing. Floorpunch was head walking all over Jersey. In My Eyes, Ten Yard Fight, Fastbreak and Bane were diving off of balconies all over the US but especially Boston. It was a wonderful year. And Worcester gigs were the hot shit. The Space (III) was the place to be on the weekend, all 3 days. There was always a great event going on. This jacket likely came from the same event I mentioned in my Harvest post. This show was bananas.
August 16 1998 @The Space Worcester Mass: Saves The Day, Barrit, Harvest, The Sheist, Bane
Great jacket. I like that the original owner’s girlfriend thought he looked “cute” in it. That’s a keeping not selling point, I’d say.
I couldn’t find any old Saves The Day tshirts to share, but here’s a pretty old one. Decent BIN price too…
And for you Barrit heads … Steve Neale RIP
