Went with Cathy and Bianca. What a great show. We had lawn seats. Now any one who know me knows how much I hate the lawn at Irvine! Its that crazy hill you have to walk up to get to it. We had an excellent spot and could see the main stage perfectly. I had binoculars and my tape recorder. I have somewhere a bad cassette recording of each of the main stage bands at this show. Don't know why but I do! I remember the fires once night fell. I remember Cathy saving my life as she pulled me from a mosh pit as I was about to be trampled! But I loved Ministry's set. We stayed till the Chili Peppers came on and then left. Walked to the car while they played. Didn't see any of the second stage bands. Once I was up that hill I was there to stay! Hate now that I didn't see Tool.
I remember those fires! Crazy! people setting blankets on fire! Great show! but you are right! I hated lawn seats at Irvine!
ReplyDeleteno kidding, you taped this show? I'd love to check out your recording of Soundgarden (my favorite) if that's in any way possible!

... I've never heard of people setting their blankets on fire at a show, sounds wild...
Haha! I remember that show, too. I was 16 at the time w/ my buddy. We were on the lawn as well... such a great time. I remember the fires and I remember Ministry covering Cop Killer and the crowd went nuts. We looked up at the hill above and saw a hoard of people rushing for the pits. Almost died in there. Gosh... memories. Thanks for having this blog. I found ONE video on Youtube from that show: http://youtu.be/8ti-gLSJWQQ
