02/07/2003 Our Lady Peace, Greenwheel (Rochester, NY @ RIT Clark Gym)
Friday, February 7th, 2003I waited 5 years for OLP to come to RIT, hoping and dreaming, and then when it finally happened, it wasn’t as good as it could have been. Not the show itself, and I’m impressed as hell that RIT got OLP to begin with. However, The doors were supposed to open at 7, so we […]
01/20/2003 3 Doors Down, Theory of a Deadman (Rochester, NY @ Harro East Ballroom)
Monday, January 20th, 2003I hadn’t been to Harro East since Chris Cornell 3 years ago, and I forgot how nice of a place it is. Me and Tiff got there about 5:50, because the doors were opening at 6:30. They even let us wait in the lobby area instead of freezing our asses off. They pushed us back […]
12/04/2002 Saves The Day, Ash, Circle and Square, Plain White T’s (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Wednesday, December 4th, 2002This show was Tiff’s show, but she had no one to go with, and I figured it couldn’t be all bad, right? Well, it really wasn’t bad at all! Plain White T’s were pretty cool, your standard poppy-punk kinda band, but they were pretty good, and when the lead singer broke two strings on his […]
11/21/2002 Sevendust, 30 Seconds To Mars, Cinder, Closure (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Thursday, November 21st, 2002Sevendust twice in one week!! I flew this one solo, the sets were the same by all 4 bands, but the sound was simply much better this time around than at Water Street. The low end was mixed correctly this time for Cinder and 30 Seconds, and you could hear the vocals better. So yeah, […]
11/17/2002 Alabama Thunderpussy, Sixty Watt Shaman, Low Ton (Rochester, NY @ Bug Jar)
Sunday, November 17th, 2002Adam was hot for this show, and for $7 I was more than willing to oblige him. We got there as Low Ton was halfway through their set, they weren’t too bad, but I could hardly hear the singer, and the guitar playing wasn’t terribly imaginative. Next up was the main band Adam wanted to […]
11/16/2002 Sevendust, 30 Seconds To Mars, Cinder, Closure (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, November 16th, 2002I picked up Jason and we headed down to Water Street in some crappy cold weather. We froze outside in line for like 5 minutes when we realized that neither of us had brought our earplugs!! DAMMIT! So we figured we’d do okay inside no matter what time we got there, and as such, came […]
11/03/2002 Jerry Cantrell, Udora, Mad At Gravity, Comes With The Fall (Ithaca, NY @ The Haunt)
Sunday, November 3rd, 2002After much driving around in and around Ithaca during the day, Kelley, Adam and I decended upon the Haunt about 9pm, and Comes With The Fall was just finishing up their set. We caught the last two songs, and they sounded pretty decent. Mad At Gravity was up next, and while the first three or […]
10/11/2002 Hoobastank, Blindside, Greenwheel (Rochester, NY @ RIT Clark Gym)
Friday, October 11th, 2002We got to the gym about 7, and were about 2 people deep when Greenwheel came out. Yep, this kid can still sing 🙂 They opened with Identity, and then into Shelter, and Louder Than Words… There were actually a couple people that had the album and knew the words up at the front with […]
10/10/2002 Soulfly, North Side Kings, Stemm, Mower (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Thursday, October 10th, 2002Finally! After being shut out every other time Soulfly came around, I finally got to see Max and the boys, and the wait was worth it! But we had three other bands to wait through first. Mower was from San Diego, and they were a weird mix of hardcore, punk, and sorta metal… but they […]
10/05/2002 The Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts (Syracuse, NY @ Landmark Theater)
Saturday, October 5th, 2002I had first row seats for this one… and it was worth it! Sam Roberts was a kinda hippie bluesy/jam-band guy, him along with the rest of his band all looked like they needed haircuts hehe. The music was pretty good, and they had tons of energy. All the Canadians started getting loud and rowdy […]
