    I was at the show. I just could not remember who they opened up for. Like most, I was blown away by them and because an instant fan. Still one of my faves from that era.

    Same thing happened to me when we went see The Nixons at The Plaza. A fairly unknown band at the time named Sevendust opened up for them. About a week after that show, Sevendust's debut album released and instantly blew up.
    I don't remember that sequence, but it could have been. I do remember that Cowboy Mouth tore the place down. Then Live came on after them, and kind of just stood up there and played their music. Even Lightning Crashes was kind of a dud.

    A couples years later, I went to go see Cowboy Mouth play at the Varsity in Baton Rouge. Some unknown band opened up for them...Maroon 5. They did ok for themselves.

    We used to go to the Varsity a lot and saw Cowboy Mouth more times that I can remember. I will not let my wife know that we missed this show.

Layne sang songs, Chris Cornell could make you feel the songs.

    Soundgarden is one of my big regrets not seeing. Had multiple chances too. Houston with Nine Inch Nails being the biggest one. No idea what I was thinking.

    I always thought AiC got their money’s worth from whoever was marketing them. They somehow managed to get shoehorned in to the grunge movement and resulting boom despite sounding like pure metal. Particularly on Facelift. Dirt had some more grunge leanings.

    Caught Soundgarden at Lollapalooza '92 and AiC at the '93 show. AiC had early exposure on Headbanger's Ball. They did a remote in New Orleans on the show in sometime in the ear;y 90's. Their ties to Seattle likely tied them to the grunge era. Saw them open for Ozzy in NO a few weeks after Layne's backstage ATV accident. He did the show with a casted leg in a wheelchair and on crutches while drinking JD straight from the bottle.

They play swamp pop, cajun zydeco, the blues, blue grass, country & even hip hop late on the weekends. I read a thread Helmut posted about old school radio dying on the vine & he may be right. But KBON with it's commitment to playing local talent & diversity of music is kicking butt & will still be here when every other FM station in this area is long gone.
    Yes. KBON is great, and is the music station I stream the most.

    Big Al and Gumbo Phil are also Ragin Cajun fans.

    This is one I recently started listening too.
    Josh has got some good stuff. I’ve seen Charles Wesley Godwin 4 times, and Josh opened a couple times.

    Saw Smashing Pumpkins in Biloxi around April of 94. I remember this because we learned of Kirk Cobain's death at the hotel prior to the show.
    That Pumpkins concert was the most electric concert I've ever been to. It felt like the entire place was bouncing. We started out on the floor about halfway back and when they hit it off the girl I was with got so swallowed up by the mosh pit, I thought I'd never see her again. That ____ was INSANE.
