I find it strange that Charlie Daniels was the headliner at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, that night, but I cannot find any pictures of who topped the bill.
As in the previous post, the show was that underwhelming, but I had photo pit passes anyway, so why not get some practice in.

On a bill with The Charlie Daniels Band at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ I don't have any remarkable memory of this show, other than my notes remind me I was underwhelmed.

John did a small gig at BB King's Blues Club. Q104.3 was there for a special Radio Chick event.

Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil of Motley Crue came in to do Rockline and I had a devil of a time trying to get good studio shots. They basically ate the mics all night.
This shot is of Sixx and Neil leaving the studios, and laughing about how I couldn't capture the right shot.
Sometimes, one has to let the rock stars win.

The day after the release of their twelfth studio album, R.E.M. came up to visit with Maria Milito and plug Reveal.
For me, this was a personal highlight, because R.E.M. was one of the first bands I'd seen in concert and were a band I followed from close to the beginning of their career. At the time, I was also a weekend Air Talent at Q1043, so they cut an ID for my show and had fun with the on-air nickname I used at the time (The Beav).
The lead shot is the a great performance shot of Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills.
This shot below is a favorite of mine. Taken prior to going on air, I liked how easy Mike Mills was around the studio, picking up a copy of Rolling Stone and thumbing through it while Peter Buck tuned up.
What else is particularly interesting about this day, was that I'd seen Sheryl Crow the night before. She has done some pop up/secret/ rehearsal shows for her upcoming 2001 tour. Mike Mills played with her for a few numbers and proceeded to down 1/2 a bottle of Jack Daniels during a live mash up of Madonna's "Don't Tell Me" / Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama."
In the below shot, I had just told Mills how impressed I was that he could do that, still play and be top notch for this interview. His reply, "...well, I am a professional." One can see Q104.3's Maria Milito holding her laugh.
