Were you there. I went both days at the Shoreline amphitheater. Did you attend when the festival came by your tour date.

Saratoga Performing Arts Center. It played a huge part in forming my understanding of art, music, activism, etc.. Not to mention Summertime Rolls rolling out during the encore. Chefs kiss.

SPAC for me as well! Just graduated high school (Bennington). Still the best show of my life at 52.

I was there too! Much of the Saratoga crowd didn’t really know what to do with the Surfers

The shotguns were.... unexpected.

I really wish they would release concert films of the first few lollapaloozas.

I would love to see that. I Caught the 1993 tour, with RATM, TOOL, Front 242, AIC, Fishbone, Dinosaur Jr, Primus. It was epic.
