The first Lollapalooza was pretty good, too...Jane's Addiction, Fishbone, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Violent Femmes, Body Count...there were more, I'm guessin', but that's all I remember...:)
Body Count was Ice-T's heavy metal band...one word...WOW.
Richard, I was at that Billy Idol concert, too...I thought Billy was good, but didn't think FNM was all that great...but they were funnier'n'ell when they came out during Billy's encore naked with bags on their heads and danced around him!
Billy's guys dumped a bunch of goldfish on the stage because FNM got in trouble with PETA or some such nonsense when their video of "Epic" had a goldfish flopping around on a table in it...whatever.
That concert was on Halloween night, too, if I remember correctly...
Fish on...
Todd
Oh, it was goldfish and not trout, I thought it was trout, probably was goldfish, that would make more sense, I was probably a little beer happy. And yeah, it was Halloween night. That was the first concert/date for me and Jennifer. Billy Idol had just recovered from his motorcycle accident I believe.
I forgot about Janes Addiction even though I still listen to them now and then, and Souixsie and the Banshees, they were good. Very Original sound. I can't believe you remember how to spell their name Todd.
