[The Dude]

I saw Bela Fleck in New Orleans this past fall and may go back in May to see him again.

-I saw DMB and Widespread (on different nights) play at Arnold's/Flamingo's on the strip in 92 & 93. Snuck in and there were only about 40 people there for each show.

I've seen them about 5 times. They put on one helluva show every time. The best one was at a small venue in Detroit called Cobo Hall. The energy in that place was amazing. I think someone may have died during the rush to the stage though. There were people jumping off this ledge that had to be about 10-12 ft high onto the main floor. I think this person must have been trampled.

I can't help but think of this story everytime I think of Scott Stapp of Creed.

Scott Stapp and 311 Brawl : Rolling Stone


I would have loved to have been a witness to that.

As did I, they were really talented... too bad Stapp was/is a tool. Saw them in World's Fair Park on their 1st tour.

Who was the Knoxville frat band that broke into the intro to The Andy Griffith Show during Blue Sky? Did that really happen, or was I in some kind of dream?
