I seen the Stones play the Voodoo Lounge tour at JTS. Blind Melon opened for them. Shannon Noon(sp) the lead singer for Blind Melon kept calling Ames Des Moines. He was eventually booed off stage.
One Final Concert at JTS
- Thread starter JM4CY
- Start date
Atleast he didn't say Iowa City. He would of got his ass shot.
His name was Shannon Hoon. Not Noon. Pretty good voice. He died about a year later from a heroin overdose.
I figured. That's why I ask about both. I assume the other one would've been for Momentary Lapse? So no Waters then either...

My god. My 25 year old self would have sold a kidney to go to that. Too bad I was 11 in 93.
I had completely forgotten about Genesis being there. That one had a strange crowd mix versus the others. We didn't even have a yard party for that one.
I went with my wife and.....my mother-in-law. That tells a lot about the crowd.
It was dubbed the Steel Wheelchairs Tour in 1989. They are doing a stadium tour in 2019.
I am getting old, completely forgot Living Color opened for the Stones. I also went to the U2 concert. Hilton also had some good shows back then. I didn't see Billy Joel at JTS but a few years before that he played back to back nights at Hilton. Skid Row/Bon Jovi was pretty good and Prince was great.
I went to the one where (I think) Smashing Pumpkins opened. Sat behind a guy smoking a bowl who stood up randomly and yelled “It’s the Stones man!” Was pretty entertaining.
Stood on a picnic table next to the Olson building when you could see down into the stadium and watched the stones a month into my freshman year. Saw U2 play there too. Never realized Genesis played.
Didn’t David Lee Roth prance around with the marching band at halftime once back in the 80s? He probably would’ve been promoting a show over in Hilton.
Why would the grass be an issue anymore? Both Colorado and Broncos Stadium have concerts about every year on their grass fields (and their fields have been cared for by former ISU turf guys at one time).
I would think if JP could have good show at JTS in early June, it could be a good money maker?
I might be missing something, just curious.
