Those years were awesome and I saw a ton of good bands. All day festival downtown over 3 days with some decent acts.
Verve Pipe
Chevelle
Filter
Spank the Monkey
They need to do that again

I don't remember The Verve Pipe playing. You might be thinking of Groovin on the Grounds. The first year I saw Chevelle, Hank III, and Filter. The second year I saw Edwin McCain, The Toadies and a little bit of KC and the Sunshine band.

I think it was ‘98 that had the following:
Spank the Monkey
Cowboy Mouth
BTE
Then in ‘99:
Randy Travis
BTE
War
Kool and the Gang
Gap Band
Village People
Buckwheat Zydexo
The Neville Brothers
Baton Rouge actually tried to have a good music festival. That was some fun times.

IIRC when they saw how popular it was they started charging a lot more, charged for parking, etc. and effectively killed it

The first time I saw Better Than Ezra was at Bonne Fete. The stage was where the Shaw Center is now on Lafayette Street.
Don't remember the year. I was still in middle school. Maybe 98?

I remember when Jerry Jeff walker played earth day in BR, down town in a parking lot. It was a Sunday afternoon, weather was great and they let you bring your own cold snacks

I member, I was a junior or senior in high school. Those years are a little hazy to me for some reason.

pretty sure it was in 1999, but I could be wrong. It was the city's bicentennial. I was pretty hammered but seems like I remember Dash Rip Rock also being there.

Saw better than Ezra and kool and the gang there. I remember thinking it was really cool when Kevin from better than Ezra pulled a kid on the stage and let him play their guitar for a song. It was a good time.

I remember seeing a shite ton of people I went to high school with and everybody was drunk and having a blast.
It was a pretty good time to be young, free, and 21.

I remember seeing Chevelle and Filter. Some kid threw a bottle at the lead singer of Filter and the police beat the shite out of him in the crowd.
