Tuesday, September 6, 1594
Lollapalooza, from Page 8
-ing Pumpkins, as well as second
stage acts The Verve and Shonen
Knife. While not up for a lot of
questions, he does- let slip that
what a great time he's having,
and how he got started in the
musk industry: writing for his
coUege^newspaper. Hmrrun...
4:16 pm: I finally get inside uSe
Electric Carnival. Although a few
products were new and differ¬
ent yon can already buy most of
these retail or mail order. Per¬
haps the best selling point of the
E-Camival is getting to spend 20
minutes in air-conditioned shade.
436 pm: The Breeders are al¬
ready on stage, arid I've missed
any chance of getting in a good
position to watch them. Many
familiar faces from the L7 crowd
are on hand again, loving "I Just
Wanna Get Along" and singing
along heartily for "CannonbalL"
Interestingly, the set ends with a
faithful rendition of a c & w song
titled "Tiea Knot," complete with
mandolin and fiddle accompani¬
ment. Without missing a beat,
the mosh pit evolves into a sloppy
yet enthusiastic line dance.
5:30 pm: Enter, at long last,
George Clinton and the P-Funk
All Stars! Lead guitarist Dwayne
McKnight is on stage dressed in a
white wedding gown, while Mr.
Clinton himself wears a green
and pink kimono, along with a
blond tie-on ponytaiL The All
Stars take no breaks in a blister¬
ing 50 minute seL ranging from
old favorites like "We Want the
Funk* and TeartheRoof Off the
Sucka" to a serious, yet hilarious
rap decrying the failure of the
drug war. As Clinton sings, "there
ain't no party like a P-Funk party,
'cause a P-Funk party don't end."
6:45 pm: George Clinton and
P-Funk are a tough act to follow,
but the Beastie Boys meet the
challenge. They play a monstrous
80 minute set with material from
throughout their career. The
crowd tor the Beasties is a mosh
pit of more than 10,000. They sing
along for almost every song, in¬
cluding ones from the album Li¬
cense to ELL ("Slow and Low,"
"Brass Monkey," "Posse in Ef¬
fect,." and "Rhyming and Steal¬
ing") as well as both encores:
"Whatcha Want" and a puD-out-
all-the-stops version of "Sabo-
can't match the Beasties' energy.
After three songs, I head for the
souvenir hut and then the exit,
thinking I might beat the crowd-
Little do I realize that most of the
Beastie Boys audience have the
exact same intentions.
9-J27 pm: For nearly an hour, I
search fruitlessly for my car.
1053'pm: I take a much-
needed burrito break and get a
fresh perspective. Then I search
.another 50 minutes and finally
find my car By now, the Pump¬
kins have finished and everyone
is searching for their cars or ma¬
neuvering in line to leave.
12.-07 am Monday: I take 405,
and leave LA. Traffic is pure helL
353 am: I arrive home, tired,
hungry and encrusted With
Dominguez Hills dust I shower
just long enough to wash off the
grime. That was SOME concert.
Next year. 111 have to car pool
and share the joy.
