Show Notes: Savoy Brewster: "I used to live at the end of Water St., and these guys came and partied at our house with some other band. Thanks for sparking the memories!"

Sera Steffy: "This was a great day. We all played frisbee with Green Day. Zeke and Matt McCollum's bad opened up and Mona sang Freebird. Actually, it was a decently attended show. That drummer got dumped though before their next album. He was a bit of a jerk."

Inlander: "I bet this is a band you might know: Green Day. Well, they played there in a 1990 event called Peaceful Valley Jam before they were even much to talk about. Now they’re surely considered one of the best punk-rock bands of all time. Adding to the mystery of this forgotten field, only a three and a half minute video clip prove they were there that year. But it happened. (KYRS previously had the clip posted, but apparently took it down.)"

Owen McAuley: I got this [1000 Hours EP] when they played Peaceful Valley that year. They hit my girlfriend in the head with a Frisbee, that's about all I remember.

Inlander.com: "There’s an old snapshot on the KYRS Music Fest’s website from a punk show back in the early 1990s, held outside the Peaceful Valley Community Center on the spacious, green Glover Field. It’s a photo of a band crammed onto a tiny stage. A small crowd stands in front — arms crossed, hats backward, hands jammed in pockets — listening.
The guitar player, with bleached blond hair, yells into a microphone and plays a baby-blue guitar covered in stickers. The bass player — he’s got bleached hair, too — is shirtless and lanky. Behind them, the drummer is moving his sticks too fast for the camera to catch them clearly. They called themselves Greenday then, later Green Day. And much later, they’d become one of the biggest bands in punk-rock history.
The expanse of green grass sits mostly unused today — a spot on the bank of the Spokane River in the shadow of the hulking Monroe Street Bridge. So when Lupito Flores and the other organizers of the first KYRS Music Fest — to be held there on July 13 — were brainstorming spots for their first big music festival, they instantly thought of that long-ago Green Day show."
