05/18/2007 Breaking Benjamin, Puddle of Mudd, Red (Rochester, NY @ RIT Gordon Fieldhouse)
Friday, May 18th, 2007I thought the Fieldhouse was an odd choice of venue for this show (too big!), and I still think I’m right. The floor was filled about halfway back, and the seats on the sides of the stage were filled, and then sparsely after that. Joined by Karl, Kelley, and Carlo, we took up residence in […]
05/11/2007 Mike Doughty (Rochester, NY @ Lilac Festival Stage)
Friday, May 11th, 2007Matt and I had wanted to check this out, and I was quite surprised that it was just him with one accompanying player. I kinda thought he’d have a full band behind him, but no matter. We got there a bit late, so I’m not sure what was played before we got there, but once […]
04/04/2007 Aaron Lewis (Buffalo, NY @ SUNY Buffalo Center For The Arts)
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007This being the 2nd time I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Aaron Lewis perform acoustically, I sort of knew what to expect this time around. It didn’t make it any less enjoyable! Carlo and I managed to score 4th row seats, off to the right of the stage. In other words, damn close! Just like […]
03/31/2007 Stone Sour, Lacuna Coil, Shadows Fall, Stemm (Niagara Falls, NY @ The Dome Theater)
Saturday, March 31st, 2007Adam and Sara joined me for this one, and it was nice to have someone to talk to during all the down time! After standing out in line (switching lines once because we were allegedly in the will-call line, and we had our tickets), we finally got in. Adam had the bright idea to head […]
03/25/2007 Lamb Of God, Trivium, Machine Head, Gojira (Rochester, NY @ Harro East)
Sunday, March 25th, 2007So after waiting for about 40 minutes in the will call line, I missed all of Gojira’s set. Ah well. Got in, got a beer, and headed up to the balcony to watch Machine Head. I know they’ve been around forever, but I never really got into them, and thus didn’t know any of the […]
03/08/2007 The Tragically Hip (Rochester, NY @ Harro East Ballroom)
Thursday, March 8th, 2007The only thing better than seeing The Hip is not having to wait through an opener to get to them. And the only thing better than a Hip only show, is watching it from the balcony of this wonderful venue, and sitting on a ledge off to the left side so you can see and […]
02/25/2007 Killswitch Engage, Dragonforce, Chimaira, He Is Legend (Niagara Falls, NY @ Dome Theater)
Sunday, February 25th, 2007After fighting some snow on the way in, I got into the Falls at about 6:30, parked and got in line. It didn’t take more than 5 minutes for the doors to open and the line to start moving, which was nice. Once getting inside, I found a nice spot on the left side of […]
02/10/2007 Breaking Benjamin, Burden Brothers, Leo (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Saturday, February 10th, 2007Well, 11 months without a show is no way to live! This was a great show to get back into the swing of rockin out, with no shortage of energy. Adam and I pretty much walked right into the venue, found us a spot on the third tier ring, off to the right of the […]
03/23/2006 Chimaira, Stemm, Through The Eyes Of The Dead (Buffalo, NY @ Icon)
Thursday, March 23rd, 2006Another trek down Interstate 90, and another fun night. Chimaira has become one of my favorite metal bands, so it’s hard to pass up an opportunity to see them. What makes it even better is that they seem to like Buffalo, they’re helping Stemm out in the industry, and the shows are always tight and […]
03/17/2006 Queen + Paul Rodgers (Buffalo, NY @ HSBC Arena)
Friday, March 17th, 2006This show has a pretty good backstory to it. I didn’t pay for this show, rather, I won the tickets through the Sabres Insider mailing list that I’m on, in a simple email contest. Ya know, the kind you always enter and never win. 🙂 So anyway, I won four tickets, so obviously Tiff and […]
