Did the sweat taste like Jack Daniels?

NIU used to have great concerts and attracted big names before I got there. During the time I was there the biggest name that performed there was 10,000 Maniacs. Ugh!

But then again, Mr. Meyers and Johnny Bounce and the Bad Checks were better local bands than you would see at most colleges outside of Athens Ga.

A trip down memory lane....

Great list, but I question some of those dates. I know for sure REM and the Replacements did not play in DeKalb in '85 & '86. Believe me, I wish they did. The group that were scheduling concerts, were scheduling underground alternative & new wave/punk band that no one ever heard of.

I saw REM in 1986 at Chick Evans. Here is the setlist:

and the Replacements were there in 1985 (that one I missed):

Kinks in 1983 were awesome. It looks like as of the late '90's is when things started to wither.

I can't believe I don't remember 2 of the greatest Alternative Rock bands ever coming to DeKalb. Damn! Did I miss out! As they say, college is a blur.
And REM played Can't Get Here from There. Damn!

it was an epic. The crowd was so into it and they just kept coming out for more encores. Wish I could see a recording of that show
