Errr…, technically, they did make sequels for these 2 movies. 8. The Sword and the Sorcerer - [Tales of an Ancient Empire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_an_Ancient_Empire) 1. Ralph Bakshi’s “Lord of the Rings” - [The Return of the King](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_of_the_King_(1980_film)) …it’s too bad they never made a sequel to Highlander though. Next: The Best Concert You Ever Attended 1. Peter Gabriel at the Forest Hills tennis stadium in 1982 ( “Security” tour) 2. Rudolf Nureyev and Dame Margot Fonteyn in “Swan Lake”, sometime in the 70s. 3. Iron Maiden - World Slavery Tour 1984 The production for this tour was massive. ---

Lollapalooza 1994 The music was great (Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, George Clinton, The Breeders, Green Day, Nick Cave), but really just the whole festival experience was so much fun. This was in Dallas, at the amphitheater in Fair Park. There was a brief storm, after which people started running and sliding down the sloped lawn, and it turned into a big mudfest. There was a ‘hailstorm’ of water bottles thrown up from the crowd in the gust front preceding the storm. Then a shower of bottle rockets from somewhere in the crowd, landing and exploding all around us. We moshed around an impromptu bonfire fueled with cardboard boxes. Lots of fun! Not to mention all the weed. ---
