I saw Rage Against the Machine at the Wetlands in NYC around '93, the club held about 500 people. I'd been to the Wetlands plenty in the early 90's, (they regularly had all-age ska/punk/hardcore shows) but I'd never seen such a horde of people lined up around the club, good thing we had pre-purchased tickets. Inside it was packed to what must have been beyond the limit.
Talk about an intense show, besides the music, the highlight was Zach getting rid of the security goons.. this was the only show I recall where the Wetlands had security around the stage. The 8 or so gorillas in yellow, were trying to keep kids off the 2 foot tall stage and were really overwhelmed by the swarming crowd. It was only a matter of time before one of them really hurt some kid (assuming they hadn't already).
