Mislabeled show date for MTV Spring Break Rocks 1993
« on: August 09, 2019, 05:41:50 PM »

STP's 1993 MTV Spring Break Rocks show in Daytona has been mislabeled for years on the internet (I will change the info in the Concert Chronology shortly). Just put 2 and 2 together from different sources.

The previously circulated, incorrect date is: March 5th, 1993.
The corrected date is: March 16, 1993.

In this interview with Eric (https://belowempty.com/articles.php?p=1993&s=story&id=117) he states that they postponed a tour date (March 18, Eindhoven) in the Netherlands because they had to fly from Scotland to Miami for the MTV taping and they returned to Amsterdam on the 18th in the afternoon and rescheduled that night's show in Eindhoven.

Enter Google and some keyword magic, which brings me to an article from Orlando Sentinel from 1993. It states:

"Daytona Beach Rocks, taping of spring break special with Headbanger's Ball host Riki Rachtman and veejay Duff with musical guests Black Crowes, Soul Asylum, Lenny Kravitz, Living Colour and Stone Temple Pilots: 7:45 p.m.-midnight March 16; Daytona Beach Marriott, 100 N. Atlantic Ave.; tickets available only through radio promotions."

Time to update the media files and bootleg lists :)
