It probably isn’t technically free but Chilifest in Snook, Texas a couple of years ... Pat Green

Rebelution was just a college band when I was at UCSB and they would perform all the time on the cliffs overlooking the ocean in Isla Vista.
18, high as a kite watching the sunset with girls everywhere, wondering "can it get any better than this" while they groove all night.
I remember thinking, these guys are pretty legit, and a few years later they popped off with a deal. -
Reggae jam band at Isla Vista? That's about as moist as it gets.Doogles said:Rebelution was just a college band when I was at UCSB and they would perform all the time on the cliffs overlooking the ocean in Isla Vista.

Rebelution is good chit. My golf buddy is a big fan of them and reggae in general and we would listen to it in the cart. They were my Summer jam in 2020.Doogles said:Rebelution was just a college band when I was at UCSB and they would perform all the time on the cliffs overlooking the ocean in Isla Vista.

This is a great song. Pretty much the vibe of the scene I was describing.RoadDawg55 said: -
Linkin Park in Hong Kong. When they did Hybrid Theory it was a borderline religious experience.

I don't know if this technically qualifies, but I'm going with it...97, in the Bay Area on a recruiting trip, a buddy /coach down there asks me when I am leaving, (that night). I tell him, and he says, "change your flight to tomorrow morning", and leaves the room. I am meeting with his players that I am interested in, in his office. Every hour, he comes back and asks if I have changed my flight. I finally tell him, "I'm not changing it until I know the reason". He drags it out, busting my balls, but he eventually tells me, and I call and change it.
His kids were doing event security for fundraising, and the chief called to thank him, and, because his kids did such a good job, to invite he and his staff for the last night. One of his assistants couldn't go, so I replaced him, with the stipulation that I could be fucked if they asked for ID, because my name wasn't on the previously submitted roster. We get to the venue, through security, and go in. No ID check, but I was sweating it right to the end.
We carried catering into the dressing rooms, got to hear the sound checks, all that was left was the passes. The security boss comes up and slaps an O'Doul's wristband on me (I still have it). My buddy asks "What does this do?". She said "you can go anywhere in the building."
We were on the side of the stage when the opener came out...Pearl Jam, opening for the Stones.
Best part of it...I called my boss to ask if I could come in an hour late the next day. He said sure, and asked why. There was silence on the other end, because he had worked his ass off to get tickets in our city, and got shut out...tl/dr/csb
