09/22/2002 High On Fire, Jucifer (Rochester, NY @ Bug Jar)
Sunday, September 22nd, 2002Adam wanted somebody to go with to this one, so I figured, a small-time metal show? I haven’t really been to one before, why not? We got there as Jucifer was finishing up. Quite interesting, just two people, a girl on the guitar and a guy on the drums. She had her guitar tuned down […]
09/13/2002 Medeski, Martin and Wood (Rochester, NY @ RIT Clark Gym)
Friday, September 13th, 2002Karl and I went to this one on the reccomendation of our friend George, who is into more bluesy, jazzy, eclectic kind of stuff. Boy was he right about the eclectisim on this one. MMW are a trio that apparently are the new wave of jazz. I can say I tried, and if you’re into […]
08/25/2002 Tool (Hamilton, ONT @ Copps Coliseum)
Sunday, August 25th, 2002Well, this was certainly worth the drive and price of admission. Tool is still one of the most compelling and talented bands out there. Finally getting to see them on their own bill instead of a festival was a treat indeed. The visuals were stunning, the lighting was amazing, and my seats couldn’t have been […]
08/24/2002 The Tea Party, The Turnstones, Junction Five (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, August 24th, 2002This was Jake’s first concert ever!! We weren’t sure we were going to go, but as luck would have it, we got the last two tickets Record Archive had. Got there at 6, doors at 7… haha right. 7:30 and we finally get in, and grab barrier spots. Yeah, Jake’s going to be spoiled for […]
08/12/2002 Our Lady Peace, Audiovent (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Monday, August 12th, 2002Well, OLP show #13, first one since back to back March ’01 shows. Greenwheel was the other opening act at this show, but due to miscommunication between me and Mary, I didnt realize she would not be attending until about 7pm, so I hauled ass into Rochester, picked up Rachel, and got to Water Street […]
07/28/2002 7th Annual BluesFest: Little Charlie and the Nitecats, Sean Costello, Willie and the Reinharts (Buffalo, NY @ Lafayette Tap Room)
Sunday, July 28th, 2002The 7th Annual Lafayette Tap Room BluesFest was the first real concert I’d been to with Dad! 🙂 We got there about 3:30pm (it started at noon), and on stage were the NY All-Stars, who brought up a bunch of local people to play with them for a song or two, unfortunately, I don’t recall […]
07/02/2002 David Usher, Edwin and the Pressure, Holly McNarland (Fort Erie, ONT @ Fort Erie Race Track)
Tuesday, July 2nd, 2002The second Friendship Festival concert, and it was just as easy to get into this one as the first one. There ultimately turned out to be a lot of people, but not at 7:15 when we got there. Holly McNarland had just started when we got to the stage and met Mary up front. She […]
06/29/2002 Finger Eleven, The Full Nine, Mudmen, Tuulie (Fort Erie, ON @ Fort Erie Race Track)
Saturday, June 29th, 2002Danielle and I got there right at 7, and were amazed at the easiness of parking, the price (FREE!) and the perceived lack of people there. The venue was much smaller than the setup at Mather Arch, but as far as crowd control and parking, this was much much better. We walked in, didn’t get […]
06/22/2002 The Tea Party, The Full Nine (Thorold, ONT @ Arizona’s)
Saturday, June 22nd, 2002I’m really beginning to dislike shows at Arizona’s, just because they open the doors at 7 and then make you wait. And wait. And wait some more. Two hours we waited, as The Full Nine didn’t go on until then, 9pm. They sounded a little better than they did at Shea’s, but I still wasn’t […]
06/21/2002 Nickelback, Jerry Cantrell, Epidemic (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Friday, June 21st, 2002To start, Mary inadvertently threw out the tickets, so she had to call ticketmaster to make sure we could get replacement tickets. (For 4th row, we were gonna be pretty upset if not!) They assured us everything was cool, so we headed to Darien Lake, and instead of parking in their lot, we spent $5 […]
