It feels like 1995 all over again.

Bad Religion opened up the Milwaukee 7/8 & 7/9 1995 Summerfest shows and the 7/9 was my first PJ show. Nite before I caught Jerry's 2nd last show at Chicago's Solider Field. Not a bad weekend for a 15 yr old. :)

But for a few years I was upset that I missed Jerry's last performance with the Dead. Kinda was upset with PJ and I actually listened to them less. But of course you can't blame for things like that. Things just happen. Anyway found this gem and forgot about it. Enjoy. :)

Can't wait to see Bad Religion in a few weeks and oh yea Pearl Jam. :D lol

07/09/95 - Summerfest: Marcus Amphitheater: Milwaukee, WI [120m]

support act : The Frogs and Bad Religion
set: I Only Play for Money (EV w/ The Frogs), Act of Love, Go, Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Tremor Christ, Corduroy, Not for You, Why Go, Jeremy (original, teaser), Deep, Daughter/Improv (This is How I Feel)/(Release)/(ABitW-II), Jeremy (new), Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman, Lukin, Animal, Dissident, Even Flow, Black, Alive, Blood
enc: Star Boy, Little Wing/Maggot Brain, Better Man, Porch
notes: If a show could have been any different (and better!) than the previous night, this was it. Ed surprises the audience by joining the Frogs' set for 'I Only Play for Money.' Dressed in a Beatles-type wig, sunglasses and shiny silver jacket, he is not recognizable until he begins to sing. In return, Jimmy of the Frogs accompanies Ed in the acoustic encore 'Star Boy.' A surprising opening song, 'Act of Love,' is extremely hard and driven. Lots of long jams that really show off Mike's ability. For the encore, Chad Smith (RHCP's drummer) joins PJ and a fascinating version of the Hendrix classic, 'Little Wing.' They jam for about eight minutes, mutating into 'Maggot Brain,' a funkadelic song from the 70s penned by Eddie Hazel. Mike's guitarwork leaves the crowd (and the rest of the band apparently) awestruck. It was later reported that Mike was hospitalized after the two Milwaukee shows due to dehydration and exhaustion.
