I went to the first 4 Lolla's.

1992
Location: North America - Including, among others, Alpine Valley Music Theater

Dates: July 18, 1992 – September 13, 1992

Main Stage: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush.

Side Stage: Rage Against The Machine (Irvine Meadows) Jim Rose Circus, Sharkbait, Archie Bell, Porno for Pyros, Basehead, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Sweaty Nipples, Arson Garden, Seaweed, Seam, Green Magnet School, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., The Look People, Stone Temple Pilots, The Vulgar Boatmen, Truly, Skrew, Tribe, The Authority, Samba Hell, Café Tacuba Groovement,Gary Heffern with Ivan Krall, Ice T & Body Count, Treponem Pal, Luscious Jackson, Shrunken Head, Sometime Sweet Susan, Temple of the Dog, Dahli Llama, Doo Rag, Billyclub Fest and Sweet Lizard Illtet.
If by infrastructure you mean a few food trucks and some portalets then yeah.

I hit every Lolla up until it moved to Chi and after that twice. I'm not bashing Lolla at all just saying that comparing eras is an exercise in futility...

My first non Lolla Tool show was $18. My last show was around $100.

Then again I was making $9 an hour back in the day. :)

"Yeah Tool is fucking amazing. But there’s a big chunk of their fan base that think they’ve become thought provoking geniuses just from listening to them."
