Dust Bin Concert Ticket Stubs I Found From High School

Posted by Grant Brissey on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 11:36 AM

Sorry some of them are hard to make out. They took away my computer with Photoshop on it and replaced it with a word processor when they moved me from the web department to the editorial department (aka, The Room Where Computers Go to Die). I found them in an old box. The rubber band holding them all together just crumbled when I pulled on it.

The ones that are really hard to see are NOFX and Rockstock '94. All I remember about the latter was that we snuck into the hotel lobby bar, and because I didn't know what to order, I ordered what the older hot girl we were with ordered: a Midori Sour. That and the I think the Beastie Boys and Tool played. The one from Western was to see Good Riddance. We left before Less Than Jake even got on the stage. There you go, a bunch of my musical skeletons in the closet. Have at 'em.

If you can guess the show stub I left off because it wouldn't fit on the scanner bed, you win the next shopping cart I spot on Green Lake Watch and a paperclip!

paw
screeming cheeta wheelies
tool
candlebox (they were HORRIBLE)

Soundgarden played the same venue the next day with Tad and Eleven.

(I once went to Phish at the Gorge, but DON'T TELL ANYBODY)

I was at that Jane's show, which was totes amazeballz and NOFX at rckcndy, which was lame because i don't like nofx but some kid I knew had a bunch of free tix some I went anyway. I was attending Western during that LTJ show and I'm sure I shit talked the little pop-punk kids who went.

@1 that was Bad Brains, Tribe Called Quest and Beasti Boys. I have that ticket, and many others in a frame on the walls. The only one I don't have, that I wish I did, was the Beasties at the Croc from a few years ago. We do have the setlist from that show, though.

@7 when the naked women were all sliding down the poles and ended up in a pile at Perry's feet? That is like a top 5 concert moment in my book.

@6 (I saw them on my 19th birthday at the Gorge and all I remember is getting busted for smoking weed in the parking lot and then buying unidentified drugs off of some guy in the campground.)

Remember when going to the Gorge was actually fun and relatively lawless?

I want to see Better Than Ezra open for Less Than Jake.

Rockstock was awesome. Tool was crazy back then and for some reason I was really into Paw after seeing them play.

Korn played on a side stage as did Presidents of the United States of America.

@13 I went to the shows both days, thanks to friends.
I do not remember Korn at all.

I was at Drop in the Park. I think I still have the t-shirt of Vedder squatting and the almost subliminal acid quotes sprinkled around on the back.

Ah, Rockstock '94. My mullet was in full effect. Saw Tool (awesome), and the GF wanted to stay for Candlebox. . .but seem to remember it starting to rain. She was tired and cranky, so we left.

Dodged a bullet with that. Didn't Alice in Chains play the next night?

Posted by Pithy Name on December 14, 2011 at 11:11 AM

Korn and Presidents were a different show, one where Catherine Wheel and Bush played the main stage.

I think that the part that I like most about this, even more than the "when they moved me from the web department", is how "from high school" spans 1992 to 1998.
