Lollapalooza - Documentary 1996 "Past, Present ... Palooza" (TV) feat. Soundgarden, Metallica ...

[@palmerlp]

1996 was my Lolla. The more time goes by, the more special it feels to have seen Devo, the Ramones, Soundgarden and the Screaming Trees on the same day.

Lollapalooza 93 in Charlotte NC, I got to see Layne Stanley sing with front 242!

Glad I found this - I was at the 1996 Rockford Illinois Lollapalooza with Cheap Trick as a surprise band. It was sweltering hot and it was taking a long time for Metallica to start so the audience started throwing hundreds (thousands?) of empty water bottles around the mosh pit and main stage.

Lollapalooza 96 opened is West Palm Beach...what fun, great show when w/ rancid/Ramones/rage ... ✌️✌️✌️✌️

YES! YES! YES! I've been looking for this MTV special for years... to the point where I thought maybe I was just imagining it's existence, if Old School VHS ever needs a bar tab picked up in Chicago let me know... I owe you one

[@TimC2-q6o]

I went to 3 different La La’s in the 1990s with my high school buddies, I must say I was probably to old, my early 30s to really enjoy the Festival. I will say that Ministry was the loudest band I have ever heard in my life, my ears rang for 3 days. I left the Rockingham Festival early, the heat was unbearable, and I could see that the Festival had run its course. I am glad Chicago picked it up. I am not sure how many of those bands are still together today, in 2025. The music for me was a live in the moment style of who could be more insane and loudest, perhaps the Chili Peppers and Green Day are the only bands still on the road. Each decade seems to have its own music experience. Good times but this traveling circus could not continue. Too much of everything. Great video a nice snapshot of a period of time when music festivals were over the top. Cheers 🍻

[@edybocman76]

Lallapalooza was a very cool thing back then

[@laurisaarinen1126]

And THIS is why they say Jane's was the Zeppelin of gen x and Perry the "godfather of alternative"! Thank you so much for posting this 😊🙏

Now when people ask me what type of music I listen to, I can simply say lollapalooza 1996

[@JMacD813]

Was at the 92 and the 95 show. Such good times. Jim Rose circus in 92 was freaky.

[@michaelyuscavage3110]

Saw this tour in two cities in 1992 and mostly remember Ice Cube and Ministry. Mostly.

[@upinthemtns]

Ministry in Raleigh NC, they almost had to shut the show down the crowd was so rowdy!!!

[@squanderbird1]

CONFESSION: when I was 13/14 years old I had to do some community service with the Church. I chose to VOLUNTEER to be an usher at ALL Atlanta events and serve the homeless peeps some food. Both choices impacted my life fully.

[@therapist6328]

Al from Ministry back when he could pass through a metal detector. Also, sorry I missed you Arrested Development. We HAD to see Tool on the side stage.

[@rblfrmthewstdwn]

God I miss that era of Ministry

[@jamesmarchetti3286]

Wow they covered 1996 the year I went near Rockford, Illinois I was living in Waukegan, Illinois. It was a bit of a Drive but well worth it!

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Looks like they filmed most of this at my home venue, The Gorge, WA State, where I witnessed Primus and Alice in Chains headline an awesome Lollapalooza '93. Would like to have seen P-Funk and Beck in '94 and '95, but...we have the videos.

[@MiguelPaulettePerez-bj8ml]

I would start going to church to have a line-up like 1996 again at Lollapalooza..

[@bdr113080]

Some where around the 19:00 mark. Bands saying they weren’t going to do it because it’s not alternative anymore “Metallica is headlining. “ “oh ok, sure count us in.” Yeah with Metallica headlining that in 1996 it had been a good two or three years since Metallica toward North America. I think they did this even before they went on their own tour. Metallica headlining lollapalooza meant a lot of concert tickets being sold.

[@melissamumpower6144]

We sat on top of a building outside the fence and watched Metallica play in Newport TN. They rattled the Great Smoky mountains that night. 🔥🔥

[@RickyIcecubes]

That was the year Perry basically handed control of the festival over to Metallica.

[@maryreilly5092]

[@bdr113080]

Going to concerts in the 90’s was just a different experience. I don’t really care for these big super three day festivals where they have 500 bands in a quarter of 1 million people. I don’t need to be around a quarter of 1 million people ever in my life. That and 90% of them aren’t even living in the moment there just out there with their cell phones recording it. Whatever happened to just getting fucked up and experiencing live music?
