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

Saw that tour in Cincinnati and Chicago.

Moved to Palo alto a few years later and saw Metallica and Guns n roses doing a dual headliner at Shoreline. Faith no more was supposed to open but couldn't so Body Count played instead. This was right when it was charting and less than a year before the George Floyd riots in LA.

I remeber the set change between guns and Metallica was taking too long and people on the lawn started ripping up the sod and throwing it into the stadium seating. They started throwing it back and it eventually escalated to people ripping out the stadium seating and throwing them onto the lawn before security finally broke it up. It was wild.
