And while there was a little competitiveness between all the bands at the time (everyone else sucked), I thought it was nice to see a college/alternative SJ band "make it". They got way over-played, but Astro Lounge actually had some well written/clever songs on it. I liked this one in particular:

I think the Why Can't We Be Friends and I'm a Believer were on their first album and possibly an EP, before Shrek and Astrolounge and their huge popularity.
Funniest quote:
(my friend's daughter had other friends going to the boardwalk to see Smashmouth
Daughter: mom, are you going grocery shopping?
Mom: no, I wasn't planning on it.
D: Well, let me know if you change your mind. I think I'd rather go grocery shopping than see Smashmouth.

Steve Harwell retired after this performance. He suffers from cardiomyopathy and Wernicke encephalopathy. He should have hung it up before this because those ailments are too much to be on stage.
