Review:
I drove down on a Friday because I’d seen these guys on MTV (we’d finally gotten cable at my house). Too bad due to traffic on 95 I missed the opener: Gin Blossoms (made up for it later).

Guns N’ Roses and Metallica with Faith No More at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
The first and last time I got in the pit. There was a lot of build up to this, the first show of the Metallica/Guns N’ Roses stadium tour with MTV News broadcasting live outside. My buddy Eric was there, and we got down pretty close to the front for Faith No More’s set. There was a lot of pressure from the back, but we hung on until the first song of Metallica’s set and the front half of the stadium became an enormous mosh pit. I went under for a second, then beat a retreat to the back where I stood and watched the rest of the set. There was a long break, at least an hour, between bands. People were starting to throw trash by the time so the camera crew found girls in the crowd and urged them to lift their shirts and it felt like it was getting rowdy, but Guns N’ Roses finally took the stage. Still a great show though.

Review:
I loved the Black album, and this show had a heavy dose of that plus all their classics. I think the concert shirt I got from this show was the first one that got too many holes in it to wear.

Review:
My first bar show after I turned 21. I think there were other opening bands, but we just wanted to see Kix, local rockers done good. Pretty sure this was my first show with Eric.

Rush with Primus at Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, VA, USA
Review:
The second time seeing Rush in college – I’m pretty sure Bert was with me again.
According to Rush: Wandering the Face of the Earth, Neil was riding his bicycle around Richmond before the show.
