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 […]
03/09/2006 Nine Inch Nails, Saul Williams (Rochester, NY @ Blue Cross Arena)
Thursday, March 9th, 2006Sara was kind enough to get me a Spiral (NIN fan club) ticket for this show, thus letting me get in line with said fan club members, thus letting us get in a half hour earlier than the rest of the general public (through a different entrance!). I got to the arena at about 2pm […]
09/03/2005 3 Doors Down, Staind, Breaking Benjamin, No Address (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Saturday, September 3rd, 2005For our second show in three days, we rolled into Darien Lake. Much like the last show, this one had three bands I was excited to see, and one dud. Thankfully, the dud was the opener this time. No Address didn’t impress me when I saw them open for Shinedown back in March, and they […]
09/01/2005 Nickelback, Seether, Crossfade, Dark New Day (Syracuse, NY @ New York State Fairgrounds)
Thursday, September 1st, 2005Tiffany and I hit up the New York State Fair in order to attend the big rock show. After filling up on sinfully delicious fair food, we hiked over to the grandstand and settled into our right-of-center 8th row seats. By some miracle, our seats were behind a barrier (for the handicapped seating area), so […]
