    Middle of the Mojave desert in Cali.  Bands would show up w their gear and generators.  Always curious if I saw Kyuss or not...

    About 22 years ago, I saw Willie Nelson at an old grass covered drive in movie theater near Oakland City Indiana. It hadn't been a drive in for many years, they just set up a stage where the screen was and we all sat in lawn chairs.

    Definitely a crazy experience.  I wish I had more info on who I saw.  At the time you never thought in a million years that a band playing in the desert would ever become mainstream...

    Was it Sonic Highways that had an episode about those parties? 

    Whatever it was I saw, it looked awesome.

    I don't know what Sonic Highways is.  Will have to look into it.

    Foo Fighters documentary paired with their album of same name. Think it’s on HBO.

    Yup... & in the LA episode they went out to Rancho De La Luna, and talked about those generator parties.

    That was a cool premise for a TV show, I'll have to re-watch.

    Les duo de twang at mckittrick hotel nyc. 2014. Puddles the clown played with them a bit.  An old hotel that hosted shows. Not sure if it still does.

    Limelight nyc was great too. An old church. Saw. GWAR!!!!!, Marilyn Manson, Rollins band, vision, kmfdm, and prob some other bands too. Nice to see some evil bands play on an altar.

    Outpost in the Burbs nj is cool.  Another religious type place where anything goes.

    Live at Drews nj. A dudes living room/ backyard. Gets great acts.

    I'm old enough to have seen several shows there before it began to deteriorate.  It looked like this back then:

    I wanted so badly to see the Headstones at the Kingston Penitentiary but tickets were gone before they went on sale.

    surviving members of the Hip showed up and played Little Bones with Headstones
