How Pavement "did in" Lollapalooza - West Virginia, 1995

That guy is a douchebag, I was there at that show and they SUCKED DICK. That is why people threw shit at them, they had no talent. And Pavement had nothing to do with the fall of Lollapalooza, KORN and SNOOP DOGG did. NISSAN PAVILLION did. Pavement aren't worth the shit on a shoe, they couldn't bring down a church lock in, let alone Lollapalooza. And Lollapalooza was an incredible concert experience for the first several years at Charles Town, unparalleled. Woodstock didn't have shit on it.

ah, how sad! Poor things....

It was Charles Town .. Held at the recently demolished Shenandoah Downs racetrack

I don't know why this happens, but it's not the first time! alternative music gigs sometimes get attended by rednecks, or other ignorant types, and they fuck up the concert. Last time this happened was two days ago, with Castanets-- 80% of the audience didn't let us listen comfortably and they would be talking loud and laughing all the time,... I know that IF we did the same to them in their shit country music concerts, they would kill us, that is the thing...

Nobody wants to see yo white ass. These niggas are geeked up.

Definitely Yow. Mac MacNeilly (Jesus Lizard Drummer) is 2 places to West's right too.

I dont know Lollapalooza continued until 1997 it seems. I don't think Pavement had a thing to do with the downfall of Lollapolooza other than trying to be an alternative rock band at a time when alternative rock was declining. As you can see in this video, they were a particularly bad one of these bands however.

I don't think you were there, markd3z. The Beastie Boys and George Clinton didn't play. Beck, Elastica, Bosstones, Jesus Lizard did. Sonic Youth headlined. I came from PA, too.

that line up you spoke of minus bostones basically did this festival called summersault in Australia in the summer of 1996. Would have killed to have gone to that but alas i was only sixteen. Saw pavement one year later, best show ever.
