I'll never forget the anticipation for those records. It was Beatlemania for stoners.

Yeah I couldn't believe the day was actually coming. I graduated high school that summer & was a lost freshman in college. It meant alot to me to get those cassettes. The albums were hit & miss with me though, some great songs, some pretty bad ones. Great time for music though, with UYI, Metallica Black album, Achtung Baby, RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Soundgarden hitting it big with Rusty Cage, and Nirvana, AIC & Pearl Jam slowly gaining momentum.

GnR + anything = possible riot back then.  Maybe still today.

I remember watching the MTV coverage of the concert that I believe was at Alpine Valley in WI and thinking I should have been there.  I didn't miss them the next chance I got to see them and it was well worth the hours in line to get seats...I remember hitting golf balls at parked cars in the parking lot while we waited, only to get hit by a lottery when the time came for the tickets to go on sale.  Luckily we made a deal with 2 other guys and one of them drew the number 2, so we had awesome seats.

It was, and it was awesome.  My first show ever.

I've seen a lot of concerts there (KISS, Aerosmith twice, etc), but didn't go to this one for some reason.  Glad you got to enjoy it.
