Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam at the Aragon

They set up chairs on the dance floor.  Eddie Vedder said he had always dreamt of playing there.  But in his dreams, there were no chairs.  He encouraged folks to fold up the chairs and pass them to the back.  The crowd gleefully complied.  The bouncers were not pleased and commenced with the bouncing of people.  Johno was one of those unlucky souls.  I was shocked when he was hauled off, but chasing after him provided no solution.  Back to the show I went.

Smashing Pumpkins were boring; the Red Hots were not.

I don't know how or when we met back up with Johno after the show, but clearly we must have.

I could have sworn this we went to this show after the other time I saw Pearl Jam, but the internet tells me that is not so...

Fishbone and Primus at the Riviera

I remember being pretty excited about this show.  Both Fishbone and Primus were pretty big deals in our little world at the time.  Maybe this was a little past their prime as far as we were concerned, but still...

It seems likely maybe Johno and I had more friends there, and even more likely that Jen brought a friend or two of hers along as well (perhaps that Michelle M girl?).

Fishbone had an informal 'big booty contest' up on stage during their set.  It was embarrassing even then.  But thank grod at least i didn't see my little sister up there.

I do not remember seeing the Hard Corps, but I do have an ep by them, so maybe this is where I heard of them.  I do seem to recall buying a bootleg t-shirt outside the riv on the way out.
