Personally, I'm really excited about this one - I attended a BUNCH of Lollapaloozas over the last 20 years or so, it will be fun to relive some of these performances...YYY's stepping in as headliners in '09, helicopters circling when Jane's Addiction headlined in '09....seeing a Beatle live for the first time with Sir Paul McCartney in 2015...definitely looking forward to the virtual musical trip down memory lane. Might even have to go dig through my Facebook and Myspace archives (if I can still access them) for pictures!
