03/13/2004 Aaron Lewis (Verona, NY @ Turning Stone Casino Showroom)
Saturday, March 13th, 2004This was one show I didn’t think I’d ever see come to fruition… Aaron Lewis playing solo, acoustically, anywhere outside of the Springfield area, especially now that Staind is huge? No way… YES WAY TED! The Turning Stone Showroom is a pretty nice facility, the layout with 8 people to a table is different, I […]
01/06/2004 Sevendust, Ill Nino, Element 80 (Albany, NY @ Northern Lights)
Tuesday, January 6th, 2004I got to this show courtesy of working at the Saratoga race track on the install there. Ron and I headed down I-87 to Clifton Park to check out the show. After buying tickets at the door, we got inside and got warm, and I found Krista and Jen, who had driven up from Rhode […]
12/03/2003 Zebrahead, Lucky Boys Confusion, Plain White T’s, Supergarage (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2003I drove back to Rochester for the day to see this show with Tiff, as Lucky Boys is one of her favorite bands. The tickets said doors at 6, so we got there about 6:15, only to still wait in line for a bit. Since this was on the club side (the smaller side), we […]
11/25/2003 Fuel, Revis, Sloth (Albany, NY @ Northern Lights)
Tuesday, November 25th, 2003After putting in a day’s work at the NY Lottery office in Schenectady, I drove the 15 minutes over to Clifton Park to partake in a show that I should have seen two weeks before… Fuel! They were supposed to play at the Landmark in Syracuse, and I had 4th row. Ah well, this was […]
11/20/2003 A Perfect Circle, Year of the Rabbit (Syracuse, NY @ The OnCenter)
Thursday, November 20th, 2003Tiff scored a third row ticket on the floor for me, so that was happy from the get-go. Year of the Rabbit wasn’t half bad, the band was put together by Ken Andrews, who originally was in Failure, who were a decent band. These guys were alright, although to me they sounded just like all […]
11/01/2003 Nickelback, Trapt, Three Days Grace (Utica, NY @ Utica Memorial Auditorium)
Saturday, November 1st, 2003Tiff and I found some seats in the upper middle section, with a great view of the stage, as we weren’t going to chance anything with her finger still splinted from her stitches. Three Days Grace was up first, and I didn’t think they were quite as impressive as when I saw them at Showplace […]
10/22/2003 Seether, Shinedown, Tony C. and the Truth (Syracuse, NY @ Bridge Street Music Hall)
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2003My first trip to the Bridge Street Music Hall, and its a pretty nice place. Definately made for music, with a spacious stage and while the room itself isn’t huge (its on the order of a Water Street), there’s plenty of room and it sounded good. The first band on, Tony C. and the Truth, […]
09/20/2003 Sevendust (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, September 20th, 2003Sevendust decided to close out their mini acoustic tour in Rochester, and Jason, Colin, Tiff and I were there to see it. We got up into the balcony, which was great for this show due to the fact that there was no opener. Instead, the entire new Sevendust album (Seasons) was played over the PA. […]
08/23/2003 Theory of a Deadman, Klear (Niagara Falls, NY @ Summit Park Mall)
Saturday, August 23rd, 2003This was a part of the 2-day “Rock The Border” event that was put on at the mall, featuring a ton of local bands, and then national headliners. Saturday’s headliner was obviously Theory of a Deadman, who Tiff and I came to see. Most of the bands were outside, and then the main acts were […]
07/01/2003 Theory of a Deadman, Three Days Grace, Forty Foot Echo (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Tuesday, July 1st, 2003Adrienne and Danielle accompanied me to this show. We got there at the supposed doors opening time at 7. Hah! 7:30 we made it into the place, and sat around for about an hour till they started. And we literally sat around, in the few seats, because there wasn’t more than 30 people there at […]
