The three bands featured here were certainly a mix-and-match assortment--jangly pop, metalloid hardcore and melodic punk all sharing time--but this juxtaposition proved to be the concert's strength. Between the three bands, there was something for all tastes...

More than 50 million CDs and 1.8 million players will be sold this year, generating total revenues of more than $1 billion. CD sales have been increasing fourfold each year, helping to send LP record sales into decline. A CD stores music in digital form in some 15 billion microscopic pits on its aluminum surface. As the CD spins inside its player at up to 500 r.p.m., a laser scans the pits and beams their information to a computer chip for conversion into sound...
