Awesome. I'm a little too young for that. I saw quite a few great shows at IU though. Why Store was fun. Wyclef was awesome.
Anyway, since the topic has "jam" in the title, how about a great jam band?
Some friends of friends bought an old quarry back in 1979. They were there in the summer drinking beer and listening to the radio when the news came out that Lowell George had died. So they raised their beers in a toast and promised to come back every June in honor of him. After a few years, it turned into one of the biggest outdoor events in northern Indiana: the Lowell George Memorial Barbecue and Hog Roast. A weekend long event, they'd roast a couple of pigs, and do this great thing with baked beans, where they buried a big pot of beans underground, built a fire on top, and let it burn for 24 hours. Awesome. Anyway, eventually we got an invite and went every year. I even have some t-shirts. My dad had this brilliant plan - this was his weekend to let loose. He had this 5 gallon Gatorade thing, and he'd buy a couple of liters of gin, a few 2-liters of tonic and a bag full of limes, throw them in there with a couple of bags of ice, and just drink GNT's out of the spigot all weekend.
He'd also smoke. For about ten years, he'd quit smoking the Monday after Lowell George, go a full year on the wagon, and then smoke like a chimney for a few days. Everyone was just drunk as a skunk.
But we had a regular spot for our camp, and we'd set up a big stereo system. We weren't the only ones. No matter where you went, you could here good music.
Anyway, they had to shut it down when it got too big and they had problems. But...
