I saw the first three in Orlando. I don't THINK Tool was a part of them, but Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and RHCP were in '92. Alice In Chains and Rage were there in '93. Great shows all three.



You are right mostly. I blended a couple shows together. By the end of 1992 if PJ wasnt going I wasn't going.

I read that Rage and STP were side stage acts though... in 1992

They played on a Sunday night in February of '85 on this tour at the Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, then three nights later at Lakefront Arena. Saw both shows and they were incredible both nights.


I was too young to see those shows, but did you go the Lakefront Arena '88 show for the Seventh Son tour? That one is burned in my brain forever, since I was in the front row for that.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - First Tour after the crash where all but those who died were still in the group.

I saw them on their first time back in Greenville, SC which is where they left when the plane crashed. It was pretty crazy.

Yeah that's very possible. I sure won't say that they weren't.

Like I said earlier, I saw the first three in Orlando. In 94 it was moved to Deltona, which is actually closer to Jacksonville than Orlando. We had tickets for it. The day before the show a fricking monsoon blew through the area. It was so bad that the show had to be cancelled. Sucked.

No I did not make it to that one. Can't even remember what the hell I was doing either. I'm sure it was incredible.

I was offered backstage / all access passes to the Grateful Dead July 8-9, 1995 @ Soldier Field

my friends were driving "road trip" from Laffy to Chicago and I said no at the last minute because I didn't have any $$$$ (broke college student)

having seen the Dead dozens of times before , I thought it was no big deal

looking back , that stupid decision still haunts me

Had to think about this one for a while. There are two that I regret not going to.

In high school I had a friend that was big into Todd Rundgren/Utopia. He tried to get me to go to Monroe with him to see Todd but I wouldn't go. He ended up running into Roger Powell (Todd's synth player) at Specialty Sound and Roger gave my friend a back stage pass.

The other was Talking Heads at The Kingfish in about 1978. I don't know how I didn't know about this show but I only found out about it after it happened. Oh well, there will be other chances to see them. There weren't.

Zepplin. They were scheduled to play in nola and cancelled . I believe it was because of a death in one of the band members' families.

I'd probably have to say it was when I couldn't see either HRVRD a few years ago or Now, Now. Man, those were legendary shows (since they're both broken up now).
