We got there early too. My friend Amber and I who sadly has passed. Worked at a record store and heard he was playing. We did not attend BU, but we got on campus and went to the spot, and people just kept coming. The campus security was like nope.
That is a killer bill! I never got a chance. In 1998 someone at Boston University booked him to play a small common area but word got out and the crowd was too big so security shut it all down.
In the 90’s me being the edgy teenager I “grew out” of Nintendo and switched to PlayStation. So the PS layout was hard coded into my brain for almost the whole decade. Then I switched to PC and it’s now the Xbox layout is in there. To this day I have to draw the PS layout on a piece of paper in front of me when I use emulation until I get used to it again. If I’m playing a N64 game you can map the buttons all you want that Z trigger is irreplaceable.

I think especially in the north east he got big quick. That tape got passed around and recommended a lot.
