www.kpbs.org/news/2015/apr/22/professor-digs-history-live-music-sdsu/Some good stuff! My on-campus experience has been pretty limited. Sat on the lawn outside the OAT for Oingo Boingo in 1990. Saw an awesome Bonnie Raitt concert in '98, and Jewel in '02 -- again both at OAT. Walked past The Backdoor several times but was dumb never to go in. Rumor has it U2 played there at some point in the early or mid-80s. My presence at plenty of random acts on the Monty's patio should count for something. Always wanted to go to X-Fest inside Aztec Bowl, but was always out of town.

Good times at the OAT in the early 90s... remember seeing Lenny Kravitz and the Black Crowes (not together).
Edit: Still disappointed that I never got a chance to see Lucy's Fur Coat live.

I used to be buddies with their guitarist long after the band stopped playing. Great guy and still works in town in IT field. |

I remember seeing the Sounds of Synanon band in about 1962. Made up of jazz musicians who were recovering drug addicts. Though I am not 100% certain, I think the great guitarist Joe Pass was on that band.
Also, there was a venue (The Backdoor perhaps?) in the '70s. I saw SuperSax and McCoy Tyner there. Good crowds, too. That would probably not be the case today, since I think most people under 40 could not tell the difference between a baritone saxophone and a kazoo!

The theme of the Monty Awards this year is "Monty Rocks" How cool is that?

Saw a pretty good concert at the Open Air Theatre, the Wilson Sisters, AKA, Heart. As I had previously posted, The Buffalo Springfield at Peterson Gym, and a young unknown comedian at the old Aztec Center, who was absolutely hilarious and actually followed the crowed out on to the campus after his show and we continued to bust a gut while students leaving the library had to wondering what the hell was going on, Steve Martin. |

Just found a ticket online from a show I believe gave me a small amount a permanent hearing loss. I had a third row seat. Worth it. Look at that price...I'm old.   |
