Sublime bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh have performed an eight-song set with their late frontman's son, Jakob Nowell, taking his father Bradley Nowell's place on guitar and vocals.
The performance took place at the star-studden benefit concert for Bad Brains vocalist H.R who is suffering from a condition called SUNCT Syndrome which has made it impossible for him to tour.
Consisting of the songs April 29, 1992 (Miami), STP, Greatest Hits, Wrong Way, What I Got, Burritos, Santeria and Same In The End the Sublime set was the first time Wilson and Gaugh had reunited on a stage in over ten years.
The performance went over incredibly well with the audience, which consisted of several notable musicians who also performed at the benefit including Dave Lombardo and Fred Armisen.
There is no word on whether the Sublime trio intend on playing more shows together, however the presence of Gaugh on stage with Wilson and Nowell may be a teaser for the future of Sublime as a touring unit. Wilson continues to perform the band's music under the moniker Sublime With Rome, with Rome Ramirez upfront. Gaugh left that group around 2011, citing discomfort with playing Sublime music without Bradley.

Formed in 1988, Sublime broke up upon the death of Bradley Nowell of a heroin overdose in 1996, his untimely passing, less than a year before their 1996 album took off in the US mainstream, with hit singles What I Got, Santeria, Wrong Way, Doin' Time and April 29, 1992 (Miami), contributing the record selling over six million copies and counting in the US alone.
Their debut 40.0z to Freedom has also become a cult-favourite.
