Blink-182 raised a few eyebrows when they announced that Alkaline Trio‘s Matt Skiba would be playing in place of Tom DeLonge at the band’s scheduled MusInk Festival appearance. What followed was a lot of drama between DeLonge and his Blink brothers Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker as they debated his status in the band. But with the MusInk Festival fast approaching, Blink decided to get in a show with Skiba before their festival appearance.
The band opened the show with “Feeling This” from their self-titled 2003 album, the first of many hits performed throughout the night. Fan-shot footage of the performance can be seen above. Tracks like “The Rock Show,” “I Miss You,” “First Date,” “All the Small Things” and “Man Overboard” also populated the body of the set. The show also included a cover of Misfits‘ “Skulls.” As for the encore, it included “Violence,” “Dammit” and “Family Reunion.” You can check out more fan-shot footage of the group’s first performance with Skiba below.
