Yep. There's even a plaque about it at Lake Compounce at the exact spot the stage was.

Where the Zoomerang is now. The plaque is right next to the Zoomerang. There are old areal shots of the old concert stage on google and you can see the road right next to the stage. A LOT of famous bands/artists played there back then. In fact the week after MV played, Melissa Etheridge played. And then Ringo Starr the week after Melissa.

Metallica played the week before MV.

This website archived every concert ever at LC... except for July 21st(MV)

I had tickets to The Violent Fems but the venue was trashed because of the Metallica concert a day or two before it. I’ve had a grudge against Metallica ever since!!!
