Notes:

This is the infamous concert that Rage was accidentally booked for. Locals attempted to collect 10 dollars for every resident in the town to cover the costs of cancelling the show. Despite their efforts, Rage ended up playing and by all accounts brought down the house. Acccording to a BYU review of the show, Rage played Bulls on Parade, and "Then Rage Against the Machine did a cover of a certain controversial, anti-police Public Enemy song. The crowd went crazy." The article also mentions that Rage was only able to play for an hour, and mentions Killing in the Name.
