Second time seeing Dave Matthews Band and Dionne Farris on their summer tour, but this time just me and Heather. I really liked Dionne Farris, and her then guitarist David Ryan Harris guested with Dave Matthews Band on a stunning 18 minute “Jimi Thing”, covering “Third Stone From The Sun” during it.

1995 was a good year for jam bands, and the H.O.R.D.E. fest was just perfect on a summer afternoon. My first time seeing Wilco, but I really liked them (I will admit to liking Son Volt more at first). A big highlight was The Black Crowes covering Little Feat’s “Willin'” with John Popper & Wilco.
The Hatters were a countryesque jam band. I liked them fine – I liked the free tickets from their label even better.

As you can see from the invitation, this was a pretty significant event for emmet swimming, a party as they’d been signed to Epic Records. Eric, Todd & Rob played acoustic (Tamer was skydiving – or he had a hangover).

I was a serious Van Halen of both eras, but 5150 was an essential soundtrack of my college years. This show was a great mix of the four albums with Sammy, plus some classic cuts. Nissan Pavilion was brand new and this was my first show there.
