This week’s flashback is more on the side of personal nostalgia than musical greatness. The first ‘live’ cd that I bought was the double disc Woodstock 94. As a huge alternative rock fan early on, Woodstock 94 presented me with some of my most memorable clips in alternative music history. I rarely took disc 1 out of my cd player, with minimal skips (Melissa Ethridge & Salt-N-Peppa) my afternoon was filled with bedroom rock outs. Starting off slowly with some choice selections from Live, Blues Traveler, Joe

From what I can recall and by looking at the track list online, disc 2 is filled with more of an original Woodstock feel. The Neville Brothers, Crosby Stills & Nash, Bob Dylan, Traffic, and Peter Gabriel bring out the old while Metallica, Collective Soul, Candlebox, and Cyprus Hill brought in the new. I was 13 at the time so what can I say, Green Day rocked more than Traffic. I wish I would have had the musical appreciation to listen more to disc 2... Unfortunately I lost my copy years ago. For fans of alternative music this is a definite must own.
