pearl jam and nirvanna opening for red hot chili peppers, nye 93

the who opening for the dead (77-ish)

phish opening for willie nelson (farm aid)


Umm...I don\'t get it.  The first two sound totally kickass and the 3rd one is at least understandable.

Anyhow, it just occurred to me that the most bizarre lineups in music are definitely at college spring concerts.  I wish I could remember all the ridiculous band combos they had at UMass while I was there.  Al, can you help?  I think our freshman year was something like Strangefolk > Naughty By Nature > Smashmouth.  Wow.

2000: Redman/Method Man, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Beanie Man, Biz Markie
2001: Lil\' Kim, Uncle Kracker, Dropkick Murphy\'s
2002: Ludacris, The Roots, Guster
2003: 50 Cent, Reel Big fish, Rahzel

There were some smaller bands thrown into the mix like a DMB cover band, Percy hill or Strangefolk as well as some side stage fillers but I can\'t remember which ones specifically.

When Radiohead headlined saturday night of roo!

100,000 drunk, high, and a spun out hippies ready to party hearty and enjoy some good time peak-festy rockin tunes and were instead treated to two hours of queer ass depressing un-danceable down tempo bullshit.  90% of the people there A)left B)sat or stood there motionless with their feet and asses cemented to the ground C) completely ignored the music D) had a bad trip, or some combination of the above ahhaaha. whata disaster.

I also remember one year at all good where the whole night of music was sick except for this one act on the main stage right in the middle of it all that was just some idiotic Chinese bitch dressed up like a total fool singing completely off key in a horrible whiny voice playing a fucking accordion.  The entire crowd was booing and moaning and heckling her without mercy for her entire set and the bitch deserved every bit of it.

Bill Brasky named the band Sha Na Na. They did not want to be called that.

LOL
