Ronnie Milsap - actually worked stage crew and spotlights for this one.
Other on campus venues
Joan Jett - at malfunction junction amp
Hoodoo Gurus - McCarthy
Smithereens - McCarthy

[Extendedcab]

Linda Ronstadt - what a voice, she did not need a microphone

Garth Brooks with Martina McBride opening.

[Commercecomet24]

Iron Butterfly, Wild Cherry, Frampton, Hank, some more I'm sure but the memory gets worse as the years roll by.

[Turfdawg67]

I remember Bruce at the Hump, but I was too young to go.

[KentuckyDawg13]

Most in the late 80s, was Tina Turner's dressing room door security too. Bocephus' crowd was the most insane.

Three 6 Mafia

[Dawgbite]

Jimmy Buffett
Stevie Nicks

I think Garth may have been the only concert at the Hump my 4 years. Did see The Black Crowes, Blues Traveler, The Allman Bros and WSP all at the malfunction junction amphitheater over the years

[Turfdawg67]

Cinderella/ White Snake

Yep. Saw that one too. My girlfriend worked at Sack N Save and the drummer of Cinderella came in to buy beer...

[Coach34]

I was there in the early 90's and never saw one concert at The Hump. I really dont even remember one being advertised other than Garth Brooks and didnt care to see a one hit wonder.

I did see other good groups around town like Better Than Ezra, Kyper, Arabian Prince, and a few others.

[maroonmania]

Mine were all in mid-80s as a student:

Chicago
.38 Special
Huey Lewis and the News
Go-Gos

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Never saw a concert at The Hump and only saw 3 concerts at the Amphitheater.

ETA: Would have been incredible to see Chicago with Terry Kath. ETA2: But think he had already passed when Chicago played The Hump. Guessing they had already turned soft way before showing up on campus.

[Gutter Cobreh]

Bob Dylan played at the Hump in the late 90s.

Only thing I remember is that people working the event were instructed not to look him in the eye...

[LC Dawg]

I think Garth may have been the only concert at the Hump my 4 years. Did see The Black Crowes, Blues Traveler, The Allman Bros and WSP all at the malfunction junction amphitheater over the years

I saw the Black Crowes at the amphitheater around '91. When did the Allman's play it?

[NWADAWG]

I will add that a couple years ago, I learned that one of my coworkers used to play with a group called 17th Floor that played Starkville fairly often. His group traveled the world and played background for Usher and several other pop/r&b groups. I didn't believe him at first but he had pics and videos of him hanging out and/or performing with Usher, Boys to Men, Prince, and some others.

[Bdawg]

Saw Bob Dillon and nickleback. Chad Kroeger grabbed a couple bottle waters he had on stage and threw them to me and my buddy on the front row. Pretty fun concert. But that's the only 2 I remember in the hump.

I remember them. Think I went to a couple sorority parties where they played. Fun band.

Barry Manilow

I saw Sknyrd at the old gym in 1975.

[Gypsy_RoadDawg]

Jimmy Buffett at the Hump.

Sigh....

[BrunswickDawg]

I saw the Black Crowes at the amphitheater around '91. When did the Allman's play it?

Crowes was either Fall '91 or Spring '92. The Allmans opened for Blues Traveler in Spring '93 I think. Couple of friends and I stood right at the middle of the stage, front row and talked to Dickey Betts the whole show. We all got guitar picks at the end of the set.

Just a little more levity or the board.

I saw Live and Counting Crows in Spring of 2000 there. It was funny, after Live went on some guys in front of me were with their girlfriends and the girls said they wanted to leave because Counting Crows was so depressing. One of the guys responded "Live is the depressing one. Lightning crashes and old mother dies... what can be more depressing than that."

That was the only concert I ever saw at the Hump but I did see one where the drummer was out front and was also the singer (forgot who it was but they were popular at the time) at the Amphitheater.

One hit wonder? He had already had like 10 number 1?s when he played in Starkville in 1992. I?m not a huge Garth fan but that was a fun concert. He was very entertaining. Busted out his new jersey Jackie gave him before the concert.

Seriously? I?ve only heard the Low Places song. Didn?t know he had done much else. But I only listen to rock and Rap. I have no idea who anybody is in Country Music except Faith Hill

Huey Lewis / .38 Special
Night Ranger / Joe Lynn Turner
Whitesnake / Cinderella

Of course they were all ?A Musicmaker Production?......

I dislike most country - but I don't know how you were on campus at the same time I was and escaped hearing Garth everywhere you went. I had a neighbor who would come home from Classix and just blast that shit at 2:00 AM. It was shear torture.

[dstatechamps]

He's decent. Lolz.

He's sold more records than anybody ever except the Beatles.

[dstatechamps]

Garth Brooks with Martina McBride opening.

Was there for that. We didn't know who the long-haired brunette was, we just wanted her to hurry up and get off the stage.

[LC Dawg]

Crowes was either Fall '91 or Spring '92. The Allmans opened for Blues Traveler in Spring '93 I think. Couple of friends and I stood right at the middle of the stage, front row and talked to Dickey Betts the whole show. We all got guitar picks at the end of the set.

Very cool. I graduated in '93 but I don't remember the Allmans show. I saw them in '95 at the Jackson Zoo. Only time I got to see them. I didn't appreciate their greatness until later in life.

[AusTexDawg]

The only one I remember attending at the Hump was Sheryl Crow with Eagle Eye Cherry. My first concert ever was the Black Crowes at the Amphitheater.

Yeah I'm not real big Garth fan either, but the dude has sold 157 million albums, not bad lol.

#1 artist in album sales since 1991, according to Nielsen.

[Coach34]

Had no idea. I just never listen to country. I change the TV if it’s on. Change the radio. Don’t go to places that play country. I’d rather watch Mississippi Rebel women’s golf or Hillary Clinton speak than listen to country music.

[Tbonewannabe]

Maybe Cowboy Mouth. Jenny says is a purely awesome song.

[Tbonewannabe]

I saw Cheryl Crow with Eagle Eye Cherry. Live with the Counting Crowe. Goo Goo Dolls, I can't remember the opening act. Not bad shows.

[DorseyDog]

[QUOTE=Tbonewannabe;1319441]I saw Cheryl Crow with Eagle Eye Cherry. Live with the Counting Crowe. Goo Goo Dolls, I can't remember the opening act. No

[DorseyDog]

Statler Brothers with Grandpa Jones who was last minute fill in for Barbara Mandrell who was sick.

[EdwardDrayton]

First one that I remember is Stevie Nicks and there are others. They’ll come to me but, hey, it was college and there likely were libations involved, making recollections a little slow in coming. :)

First post here fellas; moving over from years at Genespage. Good to be with y’all!!

[BogeyGolfer]

White Snake 1988
Alabama 1990

[Goldendawg]

Class of '77 here: Lynerd Skynerd ( was it same year as crash?), Roger McQuin warming up for Leon & Mary Russell, Jerry Jeff so drunk warm up band , Vassar Clements Band had to help finish show, Linda Ronstat, Billy Joel, Barry Manolow (free ticket, went with two girls), Bruce Springsteen (much later), 2015 - 1st concert with 14 year old son, Billy BobThornton & the Boxcutters warming up for ZZ Top. Next show for us Alice Cooper in Tupelo. Big regret - not rushing back to campus one Sunday afternoon for free John Prine on the Drill Field in about '76/77? Rock On & Hail State! BTW, most of my 100 or so other rock shows in the late great Mid-South Coliseum (I think!)

[MSUDAWGFAN]

Maybe Cowboy Mouth. Jenny says is a purely awesome song.

Yep. It was Cowboy Mouth. Couldn't remember them.

[SailingDawg]

Can't remember if the Commodores were my first, or Earth, Wind, and Fire. This would be the 70s. Also saw Peter Frampton and Jimmy Buffet, and Pat Benatar.

Smithereens and Violent Femmes at another location in Starkville in the 80s.

You sure it wasn't Blues Traveler opening up for The Brothers?

[BrunswickDawg]

You sure it wasn't Blues Traveler opening up for The Brothers?
Yep. It was at the height of Blues Travelers popularity and the Brothers were still early in their 90's "come back".

Memories

[Dawg_Lover]

I go way back to the Cow Barn, too. The ones I remember were around 67-68 ... Lovin Spoonful (twice), The Turtles, Three Dog Night, and James Brown, who put on a good concert. His was especially memorable because everyone around us were smoking pot the entire concert. All you had to do was breathe normally, and you were high.
