Guess what? Richard White, also known as Richard Riot, is the awesome dude who filmed and released the epic riots that went down at a Bad Religion, NOFX, and Pennywise concert at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood on 12/29/1990. But that’s not all! He’s also the proud owner of all these mind-blowing Bad Religion concerts: Bad Religion – May 18, 1985 at the Olympic Auditorium, Bad Religion – May 1, 1986 at Fender’s Ballroom, Bad Religion – Feb. 26, 1988 at Fender’s Ballroom, Bad Religion – Apr. 29, 1988 at Fender’s Ballroom, Bad Religion – Aug. 18, 1988 at Fender’s Ballroom, Bad Religion – Oct. 15, 1988 at CSUN (formerly Devonshire Downs) (with multiple cameras), Bad Religion – Dec. 23, 1989 at the Country Club (with multiple cameras), Bad Religion – May 10, 1990 at the Hollywood Palladium (with multiple cameras), Bad Religion – Dec. 29, 1990 at the El Portal Theatre (including a sound check), and last but not least, “Punk Rock Riot Footage” used by ABC News (filmed with one camera). And the awesomeness doesn’t stop there! He also filmed Bad Religion – Feb. 1, 1991 at the Hollywood Palladium (with multiple cameras) and Bad Religion – Apr. 11, 1992 at the Hollywood Palladium (again, with multiple cameras). How cool is that?
This content was originally written by the badass contributors of thebrpage.net, the best superfan resource and website that exists for any band, let alone the best band in the whole entire world. I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
