That is surprising me. I was under the impression that both those groups were fairly popular. Atleast with underground audiences.

Not Meat Puppets, they're barely still able to tour. Cris Kirkwood went on a heroin bender in the mid-nineties and they haven't been the same since. Thankfully he kicked it, but damn, they're pushing 30 years now. To tell the truth their tours are probably still fueled off the success of Backwater, which is depressing because they definitely still have it together.

I kinda feel bad not seeing Derrick Bostrom as a part of the group but oh well.

I bet that was fun. Height of their popularity was around that time right?

I was completely obsessed with the Spice Girls in around 1996. At that time, aged 8, I would have died to go see them in concert!

my first was...the shirelles-roy hamilton...my best...the classic temptations.

Hmmm... My first was the Euro 96 concert at Old Trafford - Madness, M People and Simply Red.

My best concert - It's either Pendulum or Feeder because the atmosphere was immense at both.
