they're the band from Los Angeles

that's what zach said opening up the set with these words, "we're the band from Los Angeles and we're rage against the machine." they started out blasting on all cylinders and i was just mesmerized and taken by the whole thing like being back on my youthful heydays in the late 1990's. Yep, twas a good trip down memory lane and i wouldn't trade it for anything else. i lived to see them once and it might as well be their last appearance together. i missed them at coachella this year when they reunited for the festival down in Indio, California but i swore i never would miss the chance to see them at the rock the bells festival over here at san francisco. Cypress Hill was there, Public Enemy and Wu Tang Clan, but who cares? they were all a bunch of opening acts for Rage. although cypress hill kicked in some good old school funk( insane in the brain, kill a man) and some new stuff--be a rock superstar. but nevertheless, all the people were there just for one band that mattered most--rage against the machine, and i couldn't agree any less.
