UC reeled in a variety of notable names, from the Rolling Stones to Salt 'n' Pepa. The promoter tried to book Pink Floyd, but due to scheduling conflicts the band couldn't fit the show in.And one more big concert originally intended for 1994 - the postponed Eagles appearance - will now kick off 1995, with a show Saturday, Jan. 14, at the Delta Center.
