I was at this show. 18 years old. At 13 I discovered AFI when they released Answer that and Stay Fashionable. Changed my life. By the time Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes came out, I was all in. But then Black Sails dropped and I was transformed. That is when I learned you could love Hip Hop, Punk, Jazz, Opera, Classical and Electronic, without feeling like you needed to adhere to one or the other. AFI did it all at once, with a charged bucket of energy and firepower in the form of music. Changed my life. Black Sails and Shut Your Mouth albums should be required listening.

This era of AFI was simply magical. There is no other way to describe it. I was 16 when this record came out and it literally changed my life. The energy and chemistry at the shows from this period would literally just melt your face off. I remember going to a Sick of it all show with them opening up and it was just pure chaos.

This tour was great. Was my first show of many, in Cincinnati, they opened for Sam Hain and Danzig. I was 13? Still to this day one of the craziest most violent show I've witnessed. It was amazing. Seen AFI more times than I can count. The best show I saw was 1999 (i think) warped tour in nowhere KY.

I was 10 years old. My 16 year old brother told me we were going to see AFI a week before this show. I was so excited. The day of the show the ride showed up and was full because someone's girlfriend decided to go. I got left behind and missed this show. To this day I still give my brother shit about that.

I MISS THESE GUYS.

I am so jelious of any one who saw them at this point in time.

I was at both those shows!! so glad these are up here!!

These must have been the days. 9 year old me didn't know what I was missin' ha!

damn got chills love these songs intro+keeping out of direct sunlight was awesome

My god, look at that set list. I'm on the verge of tears.

OMG. I still love them but I really wish I had seen them during this era.

I saw them in August of 1999 during this tour when they came to a small venue outside of Washington,DC called Phantasmagoria (say hi to me if you were there!!). They opened up with Strength Through Wounding instead of Keeping out of Direct Sunlight. It was pretty awesome, he was wearing black like here. Same energy as you see in this vid. Not getting kicked in the nose beforehand from the opening act would have helped me enjoy AFI a bit more. I was 14 at the time!!

I just realized that I stood pretty much in the same spot when I filmed them in 2010 at Slim's. Haha.

This was the first show I ever went to. God damn, I feel so old. I wasn't even 10 yet at this show haha.

exactly....and it hurts

I was here. A lot of the camera flashes at the show here were mine. Hah.

goah i wish I was there but this happened when I was 3 years old.

I was at this show!! I was 15!!! That’s me in the pit! For real tho… I’m trying to see me in the pit. Haha

Funny how everyone is saying I was 3 or 4 years old when this happened, I feel so old cause I was 13 or 14 when this show happened hahaha. And I did go to see their show in my sophomore year.

Invent a time machine so I can see this in person! Black Sails is my favorite.

they evolved, they're great now if you just give 'em a chance. :)

dude, shit. i was 4 years old when this happened. and i know all these songs. what i would do for a time machine. fuuuuck

its like this scene died, then underground hip hop had a similar following, and now no one just goes out anymore!!

aww the little kid singing in file 13

@Dustin795 same here. love them in the nineties.

They played Slim's the next night too. May 29th. Did anyone go to that? I'm thinking maybe that's when they played Strength Through Wounding for the first time.

couldn't agree with you more bro.

Yep so do I... Their last concert I saw had such fantastic sound, however they only played December Underground and Sing the Sorrow.. what I would have given to have at least 1 of these tracks played that night.... at least $100 for sure ;)

Oh my, haha.

I'd pay $500 for 1 ticket to see this setlist being played

AFI used to be so cool

Where did u get this? Did u find it somewhere?

True...very true...now they're just AWESOME revivalists! lol I'm not starting a fight just gotta say that!

id pay 14 if I had a time machine!

Cheesy? Thats the last word I would use to describe the intro. I saw it as incredibly powerful, dramatic, and above all, commanding. Maybe its for these reasons you think its cheesy?

Davey here reminds me of Zack De La Rocha from Rage Against The Machine

Life just isn't as good anymore

these guys were at one point punk revivalists... that ship has set sail.

@godlesswickedvanian I dont mind someof days music. but yes punk is head.

God, I miss the old afi. :( WTF happend?

im with dustin lol

@Velvetdeath1 ROFL!

I don't believe that was jade? in my opinion he was their down fall! I still listen n enjoy new afi but miss this!!!!

lol i saw the new video of afi and my first thought was this video...is amazing how they changed....and they changed for worse....now they are shitty emos (in general emo sucks lol)...I would also pay $500 for 1 ticket fot this setlist...

What. The. F**k. Happened.

fuck this band used to be EPIC. WTF happened?

even if he was gay, why is acting homosexual a problem? for the record he has a hot ass girlfriend too

what happens when punk superstars take a lot of heroin? emo:(

@TheMercurykiller hahahaha. Today's music is horrible. Punk is dead.
