In the spring of 1996, Bush brought their headlining tour to the campus of Purdue University to perform at the Elliott Hall of Music.  Their opening acts were No Doubt, who hadn’t become No Doubt yet, and the Goo Goo Dolls.

No Doubt kicked off the show and, while they turned out to be my favorite band on this bill, I hadn’t heard of them yet.  Their first hit, Just A Girl, had just come out and this was my first exposure to it.  If there was any show I could relive later in life, this would likely be it.

After No Doubt came the Goo Goo Dolls, who probably played a few songs other than Name, but I think anyone would be hard pressed to tell you what they were.

Finally, Bush came out and played all of the hits from their debut album.  I don’t really remember much about their performance, but I’m sure it was a perfectly fine show.  At worst, it was a decent way to waste away a night with about a month to go before finals.
