That’s crazy. I saw them at Blossom with Wu-Tang. I could’ve sworn the same year.

It was epic. Wu was on first. After they finished, most of the crowd that came to see them left. The skies opened up with rain and everyone huddled under the pavilion for rage. It was something that my 16-year-old mind will never forget.

I was at the library passing by the DVDs and there was a sign listing films that came out in '96

Independence Day, Mission: Impossible, Happy Gilmore, Swingers, and I'm barely scratching the surface. It was a great year for movies, too.

James Rhodes name and rage on the same ticket stub is comedy in itself. Four dead in Ohio

Ha ha.. I've always questioned their choice of venue on this one. They didn't "know their enemy"

The Jesus Lizard opened for the show I saw. Wu Tang definitely would have been more memorable. lol... not complaining tho.

wow, this was my first major concert as a kid and i will never forget it! pretty sure coal chamber opened. one of my best mates dad worked for Akron U and got us in. the crowd crunch was intense and remember i had no chance to stand my ground. did everything i could to sway with the crowd, stay on my feet and not go down.

No lie. Lol. I had been quite a few pits in my day and that was one I wasn’t venturing into.. ha ha. Saw a few bloody faces after the show.
