Late 90's.

Soul Asylum.

Lead singer asking the crowd where to score some drugs.

LSU admin promptly cancelling future plans.

Good times.



Random thought, I know

My friend tried to go last time even though we’re in our late 20s and LSU wouldn’t let him in

It was some rap band or something playing

They did Groovin on the Grounds when I was at LSU just a few years ago.

Really? I seem to remember the plug getting pulled on it. Sounds like they brought it back after I was gone.

Early 2000s was better. Better Than Ezra, Ying Yang Twins, and Ryan Cabrerra

That was a fun night.

This was for homecoming, not Groovin on the Grounds. It was indeed awesome though. Best Groovin shows I saw were Weezer at the River Center, Chevelle, They Might Be Giants, and Ludacris.

Was definitely there for that. Surprisingly entertaining and good lineup.
