Rescheduled from Sep 18, 2001, due to 9/11

This was a "gap day" for them during the 1999 Ozzfest tour; they had played in Somerset, WI, the day before and were headed to East Troy, WI, the following day.

According to local archives and interviews with the show's producer, Adam Steck, here are some interesting details about that specific event:

The Producer's Debut: This concert was the first professional production by Adam Steck (now a major Las Vegas producer and founder of SPI Entertainment). Steck was just 23 years old at the time and living in Fairfield.

A "Woodstock" Connection: Steck's mother had been pregnant with him while attending the original 1969 Woodstock festival. He felt it was a "karmic connection" to book Richie Havens—the man who famously opened Woodstock—as his very first headliner.

The Venue: The show was held in the old Fairfield High School auditorium and was a complete sell-out.

The Performance: Local accounts recall Havens’ signature high-energy performance style, including his rhythmic foot-tapping and unique open-tuning guitar playing that filled the auditorium.

Richie Havens maintained a connection to the Fairfield community long after this 1992 show, notably returning in September 2009 for a Woodstock 40th Anniversary tribute concert at the Stephen Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts.
