Vans Warped Tour 2004

It was the summer of 2003, and like the eight summers before, every single person in the U.S. and Canada even remotely interested in punk rock, skating, or BMX was there. There were no lights, no rock star staging, and a conspicuous lack of decent toilets, but over 60 bands played every day for 48 shows and everyone from the biggest star on the main stage to the luckiest band on a side stage had a story to tell of why they did it. These are the songs and stories of 24 of those bands giving a unique insight into the longest running, most successful, yet least opretentious concert tour in North America.
