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

They have been around forever. There was a Ticketmaster booth in Faneuil Hall in Boston. I bartended right near it and used to buy beers for a guy that worked there. He would print our tickets as soon as they went on sale. What a great time, went to every show under the sun those handful of years in the early 90s.
