APRIL 29, 1992 (MIAMI)


'"April 29, 1992 (Miami)"' is a song from the eponymous third album of Sublime. It is about the Los Angeles riots that ensued after the controversial Rodney King verdict.
The title of the song is the date of King's verdict, which led to the riots. However the opening lyric in the song is 'April 26th 1992/there was a riot on the streets/tell me where were you?'. The wrong date in the lyric can be explained as a mistake, but with Bradley Nowell's strong vocal performance on that cut, they decided to keep it.
Bradley Nowell, lead singer of the band, claimed both in the song and in interviews that he took part in the riots.
The song begins with police banter from that night recorded by ''Sublime'' friend (and future Long Beach Dub All Stars singer) Michael "Miguel" Happoldt on his neighbor's police scanner.
