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 Aerosmith to New Haven Coliseum. Originally scheduled for January 8, 1994, the show got postponed to August. Jackyl was also on the bill, supporting their latest album “Push Comes To Shove.”
Today we look back at that show…
