25 years ago today (7/18/91), the very first Lollapalooza tour kicked off in Chandler, AZ at the former Compton Terrace (venue owned at the time by Jess and Gene Nicks, the father and uncle of Stevie Nicks) with a lineup that included Jane’s Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees,Nine Inch Nails, Living Colour, Ice-T & Body Count, Butthole Surfers, Rollins Band, Violent Femmes, Fishbone and Emergency Broadcast Network. In its initial years the Lollapalooza was one of the U.S.’s premier edgy festivals with a lineup that featured the most creative and interesting of alternative nation artists (. Today the festival has lived on at Chicago’s Grant Park since 2005 as small shade of its former self hosting pop and mainstream alternative bands. Watch the Rollins Band in true primitive form perform “Obscene” from that initial ’91 Lolla tour in Enurnclaw, WA.
