Just a little more levity or the board.
Me: Frampton, Kansas, Amy Grant, Commodores, ChicARGO, seems like there some others too.

Hank Jr/Restless Heart

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
Linda Ronstadt - what a voice, she did not need a microphone
Kansas
James Taylor - he got mad because the crowd made too much noise
Bon Jovi
Kansas
Night Ranger
Mr Mister
Tina Turner
Hank Williams
Charlie Pride (with my parents, my first concert)
Frampton
Heart
Cheryl Crow
Eagle Eye Cherry
REM (I think this was at the old gym)
Kenny Wayne Shepard (Rick's)
The Outfield
David Allen Cole (at the Ramada Inn bar?)
I'm sure there are more...
Garth Brooks with Martina McBride opening.
Iron Butterfly, Wild Cherry, Frampton, Hank, some more I'm sure but the memory gets worse as the years roll by.
I remember Bruce at the Hump, but I was too young to go.
Most in the late 80s, was Tina Turner's dressing room door security too. Bocephus' crowd was the most insane.
Jimmy Buffett
Earth Wind & Fire
Kool and the Gang
Three 6 Mafia
Jimmy Buffett
Stevie Nicks
Bon Jovi
Night Ranger
Cinderella/ White Snake
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
Yep. Saw that one too. My girlfriend worked at Sack N Save and the drummer of Cinderella came in to buy beer...Quote:

I suppose I've gotten old...Doobie Brothers, Commodores, Billy Joel, Jimmy Buffett, Hank, Jr, Willie, Waylon, Alabama, Ronnie Milsap, Earth, Wind & Fire, Springsteen, Kansas, Frampton, Heart, Dixie Dregs (side note; pyrotechnics mis-fired and injured the guitar player) Bon Jovi, Springsteen, Boz Skaggs, Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, Chicago, Joe Walsh, Oak Ridge Boys, Kool & the Gang, Hall & Oates, Linda Rondstadt, America, John Prine, Robert Palmer
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.
Mine were all in mid-80s as a student:
Chicago
.38 Special
Huey Lewis and the News
Go-Gos
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.
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...
I saw the Black Crowes at the amphitheater around '91. When did the Allman's play it?Quote:

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.Quote:

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

Sigh....Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:
