TIES TO ATHENS MUSIC: Tried my luck at it for a while … decided I didn’t want to live in a van with four other dudes.

FAVE BAND YOU HAVE SEEN IN ATHENS: This is a toughy … Super Jam ‘93 or Panic in the Streets comes to mind.  The Truckers in the 90s (with Isbell) at the 40 Watt wasn’t bad either.  Anyone else remember seeing Pearl Jam at Legion Field in ’91ish?
