02/05/2008 Eric Hutchinson, Jared Campbell (Rochester, NY @ High Fidelity)
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008Thanks to Matt alerting us to this show two days before it happened, how I was asleep at the wheel I’ll never know! Anyway, Tiff and I headed down to what used to be Milestones to check out two singer-songwriters that’d we seen before at different times. The opener, Jared Campbell, we saw back in […]
01/31/2008 Killswitch Engage, Every Time I Die, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Parkway Drive (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Thursday, January 31st, 2008My first show of the new year! Adam and I got to Water St. around 7:30, expecting to walk right in (doors were supposedly 6:30), but we ended up waiting outside for about 15 minutes. What’s up with that?!?! We got in as the stage was being set up for Dillinger Escape Plan, listening to […]
11/18/2007 Will Hoge (Ithaca, NY @ The State Theater)
Sunday, November 18th, 2007Tiffany swung by and picked me up from work (an odd Sunday I filled in) and we trekked down Rt 89 to Ithaca. Will was part of a double-bill with the Avett Brothers, and he was on first. Our seats were about 15 rows back, literally in the middle of the ground floor. The state […]
11/17/2007 Chimaira, Kataklysm, Terror, Divine Heresy (Buffalo, NY @ Club Infinity)
Saturday, November 17th, 2007This show was a communal gathering of sorts, as I met my Toronto friends Nick and Scott (the guys we met at the Black Light Burns show) in line, and also met Adam there, who happened to bring his friend Mary along. While we were waiting in line, we missed Stemm’s short set, so we […]
11/02/2007 Sevendust (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Friday, November 2nd, 2007My 10th Sevendust show! 10 Years, Black Light Burns, and Neverset were also on this bill, but I didn’t see them, because I was too busy enjoying my front row seat to the Tragically Hip show across town at the Auditorium Theater. However, I got out of that show, flew over to Water Street, miraculously […]
11/02/2007 The Tragically Hip, Joel Plaskett Emergency (Rochester, NY @ Auditorium Theatre)
Friday, November 2nd, 2007I had jumped on the pre-sale for tickets for this show, and through sheer luck of the draw, got a front row seat on the right side of the stage. I arrived at 10 of 8, grabbed a beer, and settled in my seat for the Joel Plaskett Emergency. A cool three-piece from Halifax, Nova […]
10/30/2007 Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether (Hamburg, NY @ The Agri-Center)
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Jerry and I got out of work at 5:30, and trucked on down the highway to the Fairgrounds, where we were met by a good deal of traffic on South Park Ave. We finally got into the parking lot, paid, and got to the building just as Seether was starting (Red was the first opener, […]
10/05/2007 Matthew Good, Drew Smith (Buffalo NY @ Club Infinity)
Friday, October 5th, 2007I rolled in from Buffalo, found a quick parking spot behind the club, and got in the already lengthy line. We got into the place in a quick and orderly fashion, and I grabbed a beer and just kind hung in the back for awhile, when I was spotted by a friend I hadn’t seen […]
09/18/2007 Finger Eleven, Sick Puppies, Pride Tiger (Rochester, NY @ The Club at Water Street)
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007I loved the 7:30 start time for this one, as I actually got to eat a real dinner at home first, then leisurely made my way to Water Street, and walked right into the club side. Unbeknownst to me, there was actually a 2nd opening band, by the name of Pride Tiger. Talk about the […]
08/17/2007 Lamb Of God, Hatebreed, Behemoth (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Friday, August 17th, 2007This show was supposed to be at the Dome Theater in Niagara Falls, but was moved the day before. Still not sure why. Anyway, due to heavy traffic on the 90, and stopping to get something to eat first, I missed 3 Inches Of Blood, who were also on the bill. I got there just […]
