I've seen Social D a bunch of times, all in Orange County.
The band literally had a month+ residency at the HOB, the House of Mouse, at Disneyland.
The HOB face kick incident was towards the end of the Bush Regime and Mike Ness was very outspoken about his distaste for the wars and Bush.
A dude in the front of the crowd was talking back to Mike, so Mike invited him onstage to say what he had to say because "This is the United States, man, everybody should be heard." or something like that.
Well, the guy got on stage, was handed the mike, and said "If you say one more bad thing about our president, I'll kick your fuucking ass".
No sooner than "ass" left his mouth, Mike gave him a full karate kick to the head! Crazy!
Once Mike was the only original member of the band left, I think they got better.
It finally WAS *HIS* band, something I think he always wanted since the early days. Watch "Another State of Mind" for insight.
The last time I saw Mike Ness was at a fundraiser for my surfboard shaper, Midget, in San Clemente. Just Mike and Johnny Two-Bags acoustic, very small room, very cool.
Best song I think I ever saw was the debut of "Bakersfield".
Just Mike on a chair with his gold Less Paul, telling the story of breaking down close to home after a long tour. Still love that song.

Great story. Mike was always a scrapper, never one to stand around and talk about it.

I wish I could easily do links with my smart phone but its a piece of crap. Reach for Sky is one of their better newer songs in my opinion. it is the story of my life and gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.
by the way Jefe, that sounded like a great show.
