Throwback

 

Indianapolis Star, 21 Mar 1995

Nearly 28 years ago, I saw Bush on their first tour of the US, in support of their Sixteen Stone album. They played a St. Patrick's Day show at Union Station in Indianapolis (reviewed in the article above). I remember it was an incredibly packed show, and according to the concert review, there were 3,000 in attendance. As a hazy memory recalls, it was a very tightly packed show, and I recall it was pretty loud & awesome.

Bush is going on tour again in early 2023, with another favorite band from my college days, Candlebox. I'm pretty sure I saw Candlebox live in November 1995 when they played at the Pepsi Coliseum in Indianapolis. I no longer have a record of my concert tickets from back in those days, so I'm not certain. Either way, I'm excited to see both bands in mid February 2023 at The Anthem in Washington DC. It's going to be a great show and will bring back a lot of 90s memories. 

Earlier this year, I saw Jane's Addiction and the Smashing Pumpkins at Capital One Arena in DC. That was a bucket list concert as I hadn't seen either band live, and both were great after all this time. A & I also took the kids this past summer to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers & the Strokes at Nats Park; and we saw Weezer & Green Day at Nats Park (well, S got tired & I had to take him home before Green Day went on stage).

We're excited to see Bush & Candlebox in February!
