So i got there about 7:40PM and analyzed the GATE & the Scanners & found the Weak-Link and Just WALKED Right Thru w/NO TICKET!!
I've Been doing that for MANY Concerts!
You need Finesse & Confidence & PERFECT Timing!!
Hopped over concrete WALL to my Right & was on SIDE of Stage as GOGOL BORDELLO was thanking everybody.....Went BACK to entrance Of Stage from the BACK and saw Members of His Band Exit Stage Left!
and I ENTERED the Back-Stage and was gonna sit by the Speakers but then i thought why not get a spot in the Front-row......
The SMELL of WEED & too Many REAL Young looking Slackers & Preppies !!!
I was trying to get a Breeze & by the 4th song (DAMN TWEEKERS) the PIT Exploded into MAJOR Slamming!! Lots of Sweat & people PUSHING thru to the Front!
GASPING for Fresh Air & Some God-Damn SPACE i realized by Song's End i wound up BACK in the 60th Row!!!
Every-Time I reached to LEAN on Somebody their Shirt Was DRIPPING Sweat & Naked Guys ALL Smelly!!
I should Have STAYED Back-Stage by the Speakers Some-Where!
LES really commented about the Back of Venue & the Sky-Line.
AT one Point they Had Bluesy Guitars & i thought it was DAZED & CONFUSED!
REAL upset about the SHORT Encore......TOO MANY PUPPIES~~~~~~~~
Did get FREE PiZZA & Watermelon Juice & CORN on COB & Ice-Cream when the Vendors were shutting Down at about 10:15PM.
I want to see RHCP & Soundgarden at Chicago Lollapalooza next!

DERELICT to the FRONT-ROW~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ATTENTION, KIDS!!!

This is what happens when you do too many drugs.

By the way, RHCP isn't playing at Lollapalooza you goofball.

I really respect this and like reviews that are interesting. One of my favorite concert experiences was going to see Metallica, WASP & Armored Saint and sneaking my friends who didn't have fake ID in through the back stage door. It is truly a combination of cunning, tact, luck and perfect timing.

I sneaked in to the second Lollapalooza in 1992, which included Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Porno for Pyros, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine and Ice T & Body Count. The only thing better than seeing a lineup like this is seeing it for free.



Of course, if I'm gonna be honest, there are some caveats that make the above scenario a bit less interesting:

Because of how long it took us to sneak in - including one point where we basically got caught, but convinced the security guy to let us hop back over the fence and go home, which we obviously didn't do - we missed several performances (including Pearl Jam - we heard them, though ).

Some of the above performances clashed, I'm sure, so I'm not claiming I saw every one.

What I did was illegal - which was perfectly fine with the way I was living my life at that time - but I doubt I'd pull something like that today (unless I really got a wild hair up my ass again for some reason ). Plus, I have money today, so why take a chance of getting caught and sent packing?

I was so shit-faced, I basically don't remember exactly who I saw to this day - except for Soundgarden and Chili Peppers. They were awesome (as far as I know ).

I wish Primus and other bands would do like Rush and not have an opening act and play extra long shows.

I went at that show. The girl I went with wanted to watch Jesus and the Mary Chain. Needless to say I left her for a few hours for my own sanity. hahaha

Watching Ministry at an outdoor pavillion was weird but I was really into them back then and remember going ballistic during Psalm 69. Don't remember much from that show but I knew it would be one of the best shows I would ever attend.

They did. Thats why the show you were wondering about was long.
"A Night with Primus."

I'd love to see Primus.

wish I could pay half the ticket price to see them and not that fucking horrible band Gogol Bordello.
