99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another historic year in our history: 1994!
WPLR’s studio at the time was on Dixwell Avenue in Hamden, which was a short drive to New Haven Coliseum. WPLR and The Coliseum had a long history of welcoming some of the biggest rock acts to New Haven. In the summer of 1994 “99 Rock” WPLR welcomed Stone Temple Pilots as they brought their “Purple Tour” to The Coliseum.
Today we look back at that show…
