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 […]
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 […]
