The Cure/Love & Rockets/The Pixies

Giants Stadium, E. Rutherford, NJ

I bought a pair of tickets to bring my girlfriend to this concert, but she broke up with me before the show. I ended up going alone. This was the best possible way to experience a concert by The Cure on the Disintegration tour.

I found it amusing to see a big, multi-band concert (not only where there the main three bands, but Shelleyan Orphan also opened) on the 20th anniversary of the Woodstock festival.

It was at this concert for the first (and probably last) time that I heard the expression "blooted" used for "vomited."
