I'd always heard this song was about their days back watching bands at The Phoenix in East Bay, SF... It's reminiscing about the past, and the way things used to be. Saying "No one could see us then" was about the anonymity that came from being in the crowds then, and "No one could touch us then" was being on top of the world, feeling like life was wonderful. It's a song about the past, and all that comes with it.
