My List of Concerts I Saw in the 90's

1990

I was extremely fortunate enough to be able to see a ton of artists and saw some amazing shows. Most were in Cincinnati but also San Francisco.

*Public Enemy

*Heavy D *Queen Latifa

*Money Love

*Kid n Play

*3rd Bass

*A Tribe Called Quest

*Digable Planets

*Cypress Hill

*Digital Underground

*Del the Funky Homosapian

*Cool Rob G

*De LA Soul

*Beastie Boys

A few "fun" facts. Had tickets to the 2 Live Crew/NWA tour but the cops canceled it because the F the Police drama.

The Public Enemy tour with Heavy D had an incident where one of his two great dancers Troy Dixon died trying to jump over a barrel at the arena and fell over the embankment. This was in Indianapolis. They played the next day in Cincinnati and the other dancer, consumed with grief couldn't finish the set and ran off the stage. What a wild time it was.

i remember that PE tour. i want to say it was the Apocalypse 91 tour. those old tours always had the most random lineups. i think that one also had Digital Underground, Kid N Play and Black Sheep. then there was The Smokin Grooves Tour. there were random small tours as well. we had a local promoter that brought a lot of one-offs, The Beatnuts w/ Greg Nice. De La Soul. Common Sense. ive been a hip hop dj since the 80s so ive been lucky enough to open for just about everyone that came through.

edit: oh, and im in milwaukee and i remember Heavy D not being there because of the accident.

Thanks for the reminder to add De La Soul. I would have loved seeing Black Sheep. The PE tours line up always changed. And the concert was 3 hours long!
