05/02/2003 Pearl Jam (Buffalo, NY @ HSBC Arena)
Friday, May 2nd, 2003Finally! Ever since I got smart about my music (which I’d say was around 1994), I’ve had an affinity for Pearl Jam. Alas, I’d never seen them… until now! Me and Tiff got there during the set change, so we didn’t have to see Sparta (blech). So we’re sitting tight at center ice, about 15 […]
04/22/2003 New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Less Than Jake, The Disasters (Rochester, NY @ Blue Cross Arena)
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2003Disclaimer: This was Tiff’s show! Having said that, we arrived while the Disasters were on. The only real punk band on the bill, they were probably pretty good as far as punk bands go, but I have no knowledge of these things, so yeah. Whatever. Less Than Jake was next, and while they weren’t bad […]
04/18/2003 Sister Hazel, Jared Campbell (Harrisburg, PA @ The Whitaker Center)
Friday, April 18th, 2003Tiff and Becca’s Excellent Adventure would be an apt title for this, since Sister Hazel is the absolute favorite band for both of them, but that’s not to say I didn’t have a good time! 4.5 hours to Harrisburg, PA from Rochester, and well worth the trip. We got into Harrisburg much earlier than we […]
04/17/2003 Finger Eleven, Blankface (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Thursday, April 17th, 2003I ventured down with Jason and his roommate Colin to this one… Finger Eleven taped a live DVD at this show (in fact, it was the whole point for the show, as it was an off-date for them). We got into the place, and the openers, Blankface, were a crappy local emo band. Their singer […]
03/12/2003 Tonic, Chris Emerson (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Wednesday, March 12th, 2003Tiff and I finally got inside at 20 after 8, although the doors were supposed to open at 8. No matter, we got inside, and figured we’d get warm right? Hah! Twas a bit cold inside the venue as well, as there were 120 people, maximum, at the show. The opener, Chris Emerson, was walking […]
03/03/2003 Audioslave, Burning Brides (Toronto, ONT @ The Kool Haus)
Monday, March 3rd, 2003Me and Tiff made a weekend out of this show, also hitting the science center and the CN tower, but Saturday night was all about the show… We weren’t in line more than 20 minutes, and luckily it wasnt freezing out. We got in, and what a nice venue the Kool Haus is… a really […]
02/15/2003 Seether, Ra, Noise Therapy (Rochester, NY @ The Penny Arcade)
Saturday, February 15th, 2003What a great place to see bands… its one of the smallest places, and since its so out of the way, everyone thats there generally wants to be there… save for the fence/barrier that’s kinda ghetto, but whatever. We rolled in about 8:30, and after a little confusion on the part of the guys taking […]
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 […]
