I see a guy who definitely looks like Jon Stewart. Is that somehow confirmed to be him?

Confirmation? Sir, this is a Wendy's.

No, this is Patrick.

I'm pretty sure that is at the City Gardens Club, a legendary New Jersey punk venue. Stewart worked there as a bartender in the 80s. There's a documentary about it called Riot on the Dancefloor, and Stewart appears in it.

He is first and foremost a great human being and secondarily a celebrity.

I got my nose and jaw broken in a mosh pit when I was 16 at a Slapshot concert in Bostons Rathskeller.
Good times

I didn’t even know he was friends with Subban.

Problem is - that is not City Gardens. City Gardens did not have brick walls inside or outside; the building itself is an old car dealership and it was made from cinder blocks. Inside, the club was painted and they had several large murals on the walls.

I never got the idea of the mosh pit.

That's such a claim. About 10 years before my time.
Bad ass.
Everybody does it, why shouldn't I? BECAUSE ITS SICK!

What it was was at the time I was a skateboarder but I had a few friends who were skinheads and into that sort of stuff and I liked the music so I went to the show. I wasn't a skinhead. I still had hair, and I didn't realize that that was a problem, so when I went in the mosh pit they literally beat the shit out of me lol.

I apologize. It was wrong of me to assume you were a man. 🥲 I still think it’s weird willingly throw oneself into a mosh pit. But hey….live and let live.

I lived on Marlborough St in 1989 and walked by the Rat all the time. We probably crossed paths.

Idk why this is getting downvoted. They aren't for everyone. Personally, I used to love a good mosh pit but there's nothing wrong with not liking them. There's not even anything wrong with not getting the appeal at all.

The guy in the plaid looks nothing like him.

It’s actually some schmuck named Jonathan Leibowitz who was always trying too hard to be relevant, as is evident from the look on his face.

It is hard to explain. I am a woman who was 17 at this time. Mosh pits were not hurtful. It was more about bouncing against one another and getting some energy out and laughing a lot. Girls did it too. If anyone showed anger and/or aggressiveness, the other people in the pit checked him and kept him out, just by creating a human fence around him. I never saw any fights in my many years going to clubs, and this technique quickly quieted down anyone that got out of hand. All these songs, and the songs and pits of the 90s- pure fun.
