Anyone else from the forum attend the 3/92 First Ave show? I played a part in catching Eddie as he released himself from the second floor railing onto the awaiting crowd. I had a bum wrist, but I took one for the team!

i was 14 and had two years yet before i went to my first show by *any* band. but i certainly wish i was there!

I was 14 when I saw my first show - http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/142563 ... fest.jhtml

Pretty sure this was my first concert.

pink floyd at the dome in 94 was my first show.

i went to edgefest 5 and 6 (98/99) and those were my first festival experiences. a couple memories of those: i lost my friends yet somehow ended up down at the front swigging and passing tequila bottles around during motorhead. lemmy's mole was -> <- this far away! hole showed up late and when they did play they played only a few songs before courtney left the stage. the crowd chanted "courtney's a cunt" and "courtney killed kurt". during the crystal method set this girl in front of me started rubbing up all on me so i went with it. then her friend showed up after awhile and took her away with an evil glare.

good times.

Holy shit I remember that. I was at Edgefest for like three years in a row. I had the luxury of an older brother who into concerts and quite responsible, so I got to go.

I totally remember Hole being late and people heckling her...

That's too bad...I was looking forward to seeing who was booked for the fest. The good news is that because PJ announced long ago that they were doing a fall US tour (and this fest was in July), we can most likely rest assured that the "legendary act [booked for First Ave's fest] that likely won't come here at all" is NOT PJ.

"Kranz did not name names, but we know that at least one of the pull-outs is coming to town in July for another big outdoor event. Another legendary one that was in line for the show probably isn’t coming here at all."

That means My Morning Jacket or Wilco were likely going to play the First Avenue fest.

I'm more interested in this "festival" than I was before it was cancelled.

eTix was bad? Whenever we get tickets for First Ave shows, the surcharges were always like $1.50/ticket.

That's rough...but I'm glad you got tickets!

$67 tickets ended up being $82. Hefty price to pay, but the lineup is too sweet to miss!

Thats what I thought too (I mean.. thats why they converted to eTix).

Get this.. each ticket had a $12 convenience fee, .50 charity fee, and .60 tax fee. THEN the subtotal of the two tickets included a $3 ORDER FEE!! (you'd think that was part of the conv fee!!) :fp:

Derek said you and Hannah were holding off.. probably smart if you wait and just get box office or something.

Yeah, it just came down to prioritizing our money for shows and travel. We're doing the Stones in Chicago, PJ in Chicago, hopefully PJ in the fall, maybe another trip in there somewhere. We'd love to do it (actually, I'm quite torn over this), but right now, spending $82/ticket is something we should probably hold off on. The compromise I told myself is that (1) we will still do pregame with everyone, and (2) if tickets are available in a month, we'll get them.
