The show was a bigger deal they than had expected and the biggest surprise for the Seattle performers were the other acts that took the stage and opened up for them.
“The August 24, 2005 show for Target ended up being a HUGE deal! Prior to Sir Mix A Lot’s performance (with GIRL 6), Target had all these crazy superstar performances by Aerosmith, Santana, Rob Thomas, Earth Wind and Fire, Gloria Estefan and MORE!
The venue featured a MASSIVE half pipe for bikes, simulated race cars, ceiling to floor visual displays and more! These people know how to CELEBRATE! Mad props to the marketing peeps at PMH! ”
