00:05 When I started Lollapalooza,
00:07 it was a farewell for Gene's addiction.
00:10 Perry said, "I want to leave on a high note.
00:12 I want to do a summer tour."
00:14 We got to do it again.
00:15 [MUSIC]
00:25 Would you guys like to see that?
00:26 [MUSIC]
00:27 It changed the music industry.
00:29 There's an energy here that's sick of corporate bull.
00:33 We had all been underground bands, but that was changing.
00:35 It felt like a revolution.
00:37 We're trying to make adults sick.
00:38 That was the Declaration of Independence of the Alternative Nation.
00:41 [MUSIC]
00:43 We weren't going to be told what to do.
00:44 The NRA was set up next to PETA.
00:47 If you're morally offended, get the f*** out of here.
00:50 When a car is going real, real fast,
00:53 it gets harder and harder to jump out.
00:54 [MUSIC]
00:56 Lollapalooza has gone from being a fringe thing
00:59 to promoting popular music.
01:01 Oh my God, here come the bad boys of hard rock.
01:05 People are like, "What the f*** is this?"
01:07 We were a victim of our own success.
01:09 Lollapalooza, the rock summer tour, died this week.
01:13 I didn't know what I was going to do, and I was very embarrassed.
01:15 So we contacted Perry.
01:17 It looked like he had lost a child.
01:19 And it was reborn.
01:20 It's on.
01:20 [MUSIC]
01:24 Lollapalooza's back.
01:26 It's pretty adamant that we push internationally.
01:29 [MUSIC]
01:31 Lollo picks great people when no one's heard of them.
01:34 Boom, boom.
01:35 [MUSIC]
01:36 Let's bring real music to the world.
01:40 [MUSIC]
01:42 That's entertainment.
