"It was time for the Vans Warped Tour again, and with it, Bad Religion. I've seen everyone but Brooks this year through various functions but it was great to see everyone together again. I texted Greg a few days before and made sure it would be ok to hang out and bring some friends. The answer was yes due to my "made man" status.
I got to Cricket Pavilion around 11. The forecast called for 105 degree weather and it was brutal. I parked back in the bus lot and found the bus I needed. I got on and said hello to the crew. Brian woke up and said hello. By this time, Adrienne and Taylor were arriving and I needed to make sure that they got in. We went to will call and got the necessary credentials.
The next 8 hours were primarily spent on the bus. Adrienne and Taylor ventured out to see Tiger Army and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I sat on the bus as the heat was just too much to take. Ronnie had some friends down to visit and I got to hear stories of touring with the Police and AFI. Sue from Epitaph was riding the bus for a few days so we got to catch up on things.
7 o'clock rolled around and it was time to get ready for the set. Greg ventured out to see some of Pennywise's set. Everyone else changed clothes and tried to hydrate as much as possible. The band took the stage and I got in position to take some pictures and video. I was able to shoot half of the set from the back of the stage, adjacent to the drum riser. The other half was filmed from right next to Greg Hetson."

Thanks to Ed!

Jay said in an interview with ikillkenny for the BR Podcast that he didn't mind bootlegs because they help spread new music.

I don't really know why they'd be against bootlegs but I believe Steve if he says they told him so. I was always under the impression that they don't care, now I'll go destroy all of my boots... Oh wait, no I wont.

let me throw in a quote here:
Jay Bentley: "I dont care if people make bootlegs, they're free to share, we're fine with it as long as people dont charge money for them." |

Lol vote away.. im just blunt, old and tired. As for asking the "guys" if they will let you release hahaha. BR has stated many many times they hate bootlegs. I personally have talked to greg and jay on the matter and they do NOT condone any type of recording that isnt established before hand (IE webcast..DVD show)
Also I have about 5 videos of his last solo tour and I know there are more out there. Still.. "ask the guys" LOL made my day right there haha thanks ed! |

Yay, I'd love to see a greg solo show. I fucking love that acoustic show that was posted a little while ago.

Ed, I'd love to have the videos, too. And of the Greg solo show, too! I'll love you forever if you share. ;)
And as said before, Greg and the guys don't mind. But if it eases your mind, go ask. |

Delerium,
I don't have video of the full set, but do of most of it. I would have to check witht he guys and see if they are comfortable with the set going out. If they clear it, I am willing to share. |

Ed: Any chance of the whole show being shared?? I'm sure many people would love to have the vid.

Go ahead erase this or spam me virii.. I think people like you that gloat over backstage crap need to be shot. Ive followed br since you were in diapers and still never been backstage. Met them all but back stage? Yea course your views are biased about warped tour.. sorry fellas warped was horrid here. Might be different there but I doubt it.
For backstagers, just stick it in your rear.. seriously. Glad br is almost gone so I dont have to deal with these kids anymore |

ed needs to add greg "h." or greg "g." to his story. its kinda confusing when you got two gregs in a band.
