A Dave Matthews Band tour bus infamously dumped 800 pounds of human waste on a hapless river cruise floating at exactly the wrong time under the Kinzie Street Bridge.
Boat passengers including a Chicago Tribune reporter enjoying an open air architectural river cruise "described a downpour of foul-smelling, brownish-yellow slurry that ruined their clothes and made several of them sick," on the afternoon of Aug. 8, 2004, the Tribune reported.
The jam band's tour bus driver admitted to the dumping and reportedly paid a fine, served 1 years probation and performed community service. The band, known for huge outdoor shows, a string of hits and environmental activism, later donated $50,000 to the Chicago Park District "to begin the healing process," according to reports.
