A filmed live concert by NOFX at Pinkpop Festival, Megaland (Landgraaf, Netherlands), on 1 June 1998, during the So Long Europe Summer Tour. A leading name in independent Californian punk rock, the band led by Fat Mike delivers an incisive, irreverent set, true to its humour and stage energy. This dense full concert rolls through the short, fast tracks that are the band’s trademark: Kids of the K-Hole, Leave It Alone, Linoleum, Don’t Call Me White, Stickin’ in My Eye, Bob and The Brews, with nods to the Dutch crowd and a cover of Les Champs-Élysées. The capture conveys the spirit of a festival punk show, between songs fired off at full speed and unabashed provocations. A reference complete live concert for fans of 1990s punk rock and skate-punk, this document shows NOFX on stage in 1998, at the height of the Californian punk wave, before a large European crowd. A precious archive piece for reliving a filmed live concert of the band from that era.
