I was a trumpet player in beginner band and my section leader told me she had a band I need to hear. I was 13 and just getting into music. She told me if I liked it to let her know bc they were going to the concert the next weekend. I took Mellon Collie home and devoured it. It changed my life and is still my favorite album to this very day. I immediately asked my dad for a guitar for Christmas. So two weeks later, my friends (who were older than me) along with one of our substitute teachers, snuck me out of the house and took me to the SP concert at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, MS. I remember it was right before Thanksgiving and WPC said something about remember that turkey you are eating was once wild and free lol. That night and that album changed my life. It was my first concert. Will forever be the ruler I measure every show against for the rest of my life. Thank you.
