    Awesome show. These guys were road weary and exhausted but still delivered! New record is awesome too!

  • A guest 100% for Sinéad O'Connor · Tue, 21 Aug 1990

    I was in the front row. 17 year old. Excited as shit. She played for 15-20 minutes. And left. My 17 year old self thought it was such a rock ‘n roll moment

  • A guest 100% for Metallica · Tue, 18 Jul 1989

    Best concert I have ever been to. One outdoors was incredible. The sound was on point and clear. The largest mosh pit I ever saw knocked down the fence to regular seats and poured in. And 3 Encores! What a time to be a metalhead.
