88, my senior year was epic. Stevie Ray Vaughan and huge parties all over the place. Ted's was in its heyday. Great times.
My senior year, too, and the one and only time I saw SRV. Glad I saw him, but sure wish I had gotten to see him more.
 
Anyone remember that early 90's Ziggy Marley / Jungle Brothers show at Uconn? Classic
 
I was there from 95-99....The latter years were when rioting became the cool thing to do as DMB concerts also became a hot bed for riots back in 98 and 99. As far as Spring Weekend goes, we chose to just stay in at good old Willington Oaks and have our own off-radar kill-a-keg.
 
I was there in 98. Got caught by some pepper spray twice that year. People set a tree on fire at I think Kill-a-Keg and the police used it to disperse the crowd. Then at the jungle when the police sprayed it there.
Yep, I was there for that as well. I made it into a house before the pepper spray came out at carriage house. I lived in carriage house in 96-97 and fall 97 before getting kicked out, we had a solid 10+ kegs for thursday (or was it saturday?) of spring weekend, neighbor's band played on our deck and local news reporters were at our house before things got rowdy. Had a lot of fun, killed a lot of brain cells.
 
I thought X Lot was legitimately dangerous and I never went back after my freshman year in 01. There were people lighting off real fireworks and throwing bottles. It was freaking stupid.
My freshman year (09), a drunken idiot climbed the light pole, instantly became a bottle target, got knocked off said pole by a bottle, and then got arrested to top it off. I did get to shotgun beers as an 18 yo right next to a group of staties though so that was fun.

Dammit I Always wanted to see SRV, one of the greatest ever. Must have been an epic show.
 
Biggie was Spring '96. It my Freshman Year. Toad the Wet Sprocket was 95. I remeber being ticked off I missed them. Rusted Root and Ol' Dirty Bas -d was '99.
Ive seen toad a few times over the past 5 years, they're still very good. Think they're playing in new england somewhere in the next month or two.

saw SRV open for Huey Lewis on City Island in Harrisburg in 1984. blew Huey off the stage and stole the show.

Same here, 88 ended up being my senior year, due in part to multiple major changes and earning my moniker as a freshman. Ted's was the place on weekdays or weekends.

I remember that! Was it the same year one of the houses at the foot of Farmer Browns got set on fire?
 
As a soon to be Senior at UConn, who has had to experience 3 years of this new age Spring Weekend that involves cops, bracelets, and more cops. All I have to say is !:mad:
