I was a bit after your time, but the old Athens food too! I didn't appreciate how exceptional (and cheap!) it was.

Wilson's Soul Food, Taco Stand, Mexicali, Peppino's, Last Resort, Inoko Express

There used to be a place next to the 40 Watt. X-Ray Cafe? I remember hanging out with poor bands post-show, because they had a grilled-cheese with tomato for $2.50 or so.

By the mid to late 90s, it was more Widespread Panic, Drive-By Truckers, and Of Montreal, as REM had already graduated to super-stardom.

The WP outdoor free concert (in the middle of downtown!) in '98 was something else. 100k happy people.
