Lollapalooza '04
So the mainstage line-up was announced for Lollapalooza with Morrisey headlining followed by Sonic Youth, the Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Polyphonic Spreee and String Cheese Incident. I don't know about String Cheese, but otherwise this looks like an incredibly solid line-up. Maybee Perry Farrell thought that he need some more hippie dudes to balance out the set. It never seems to fail that there is always at least one, if not alot of bands that totally lick balls at Lollapalooza. I remeber the summer before I started high school going to the one in '93 and seeing Alice in Chains, Primus, Dinosaur Jr, Tool and Rage against the Machine, which was pretty awesome. The best part was during Dinosaur's set when everyone in the lawn section of what was then Lakewood started throwing trash and all sort of shit in the air and after about 3 songs the sky was just filled crap being thrown everywhere. Pretty amazing that I didn't get nailed by a spiked collar or a tie-dye Arested Development t-shirt. Looking back it turns out that was Alice in Chains last full on American tour, so I was glad I got a chance to see them before Layne Stayley died. "Dirt " is a great album, I still rock it every once in a while. Just out of curiosity, what were some other folks awesome Lollapalooza memories?
