BTW, I saw the (free!) "proto-Lollapalooza" show in 1989.

It was a lot of fun. Jane's Addiction, Mary's Danish, and a number of long-forgotten bands. There was no politics. Just a bunch of great (and OK) music.

Mary's Danish were throwing trinkets out to the crowd, and then people were throwing them back up on the stage.

By the time Jane's Addiction got on stage, they had the crowd rowdied up to the point where people continued throwing up on stage. One guy threw his shoe. Perry Farrell yelled at the guy, "Hey, I got two feet, a$$h--e!" Great moment.

But this current lineup Perry's trying to sell is weak, and I'm not surprised he's having trouble selling tickets.

BTW, Stephen Perkins did an awesome drum solo on a plastic picnic-type cooler at that show.

LOL...unfortunate typo.

Should be "people continued throwing stuff up onto the stage."
