Classic Concert Photos from the '90s and 2000s
The 90s and 2000s were a golden age for music, and concerts were unforgettable for any audience member, especially for die-hard fans. Before smartphones, going to a concert was completely different from what it is today.
In the following photos you can see, among others, Metallica playing in Brazil, Britney Spears singing in the early 2000s, Oasis in Scotland, Eminem in Montreal and Iggy Pop at the Lollapalooza festival.
These images transport us to a time when concerts were amazing and the audience enjoyed their favorite artists' performances without paying attention to a cell phone for the entire show.
