Another year, another great HFStival lineup. No Doubt, Garbage and Gin Blossoms were my favorites. Art Alexakis (from Everclear) remembers the show fondly. Here’s a video recap and an audio recap by WHFS.

Steeleye Span was a legendary British folk band that Heather was fond of. Lucky for us, we saw Maddy Prior on her last US tour with the group.

This might be Chris’s favorite show he ever went to with me, and it’s not because of the music. I was already a fan of hot sauces, but more along the lines of pouring Tabasco over my food. I bought a bottle of hot sauce from a vendor there, poured some over a chili dog, and took a couple bites. Pretty soon I knew what it is like to be pepper sprayed. I couldn’t open my eyes, and the beer lines were too long to get something to drink. I did enjoy the music, but eventually we left and I was soothed by a warm liter of soda that’d been left in the car.

Like the flyer states, all ages and outdoors for Cinco de Mayo. I remember sitting on a crappy white plastic chair.

My first time seeing Tori. I’d wanted to see her in 1994, but by the time a 3rd show went on sale (after selling out the first two nights), I had tix to a different show. With only three albums out, she played most of my favorites.

Please do not confuse this band with the great English pop band. They were a Beatles cover band that one of our regulars played in.

Joan Osborne came out of nowhere with “One Of Us”, but in addition to Relish, she also released Early Recordings with great covers of “Son Of A Preacher Man” and “Wild World”. Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies was a fun jam band.

I’d missed the Foo Fighters (and Eddie Vedder) opening up for Mike Watt at the Black Cat, but I wasn’t going to miss their headling tour.
According to foofighterslive.com: “Someone in the crowd threw an empty water bottle at Dave during ‘How I Miss You’, prompting the rest of the crowd to join in. The song was cut short and Dave introduced the next song as ‘Alone + Easy Target On Stage’. ”

I was a big Collective Soul fan, and was excited for a headline show.
