Flashback/Pop Quiz: First Rock Show @ the Knickerbocker Arena?

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the first rock show ever held at the Knickerbocker Arena – known these days as the Times Union Center.

As we wrote last week, Ole Blue Eyes himself – Frank Sinatra – played the arena’s grand opening concert on January 30, 1990. Frank was definitely swingin’, but he didn’t actually rock out.
