05/03/2002 The Tea Party, The Full Nine, The Turnstones (Velour) (Buffalo, NY @ Shea’s Performing Arts Center)
Friday, May 3rd, 2002Mary and I arrived about 6:30, waited in the lobby, and were found by Joe and company. They were told the Tea PArty guys would be coming back to the venue at about 8:00. So we decided to wait outside for awhile, even though the doors opened at 7. Being a seated show, we weren’t […]
04/22/2002 Nickelback, Default, Injected (Buffalo, NY @ Buffalo State Sports Arena)
Monday, April 22nd, 2002I acutally got out of Routing and Switching lab at 5:30, and immeadiately hit the road, getting to the arena about 6:45. I figured everyone would have been in already, as the tickets said 6pm. Well, there was still a line, which moved rather quickly thankfully due to the crappy weather. I got in and […]
04/15/2002 Sevendust, Reveille, Breaking Point (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Monday, April 15th, 2002I took Jason to this one with me, and we got in line about 6:00, the doors opened at 7. Well, 7:20 actually. We got inside, and would have been about 3 rows back from the front if we’d stayed on the floor. Luckily, they opened up the balcony, so we were front and center […]
03/26/2002 David Usher (Buffalo, NY at The Tralf)
Tuesday, March 26th, 2002Mary and I got to the venue about 7:30, and Joe and Paula were already there, right at the front. There wasn’t a whole lot of people there, so sight was not going to be a problem. At 8:00. a lady came out and made a couple announcements, it turns out the opening act couldn’t […]
03/24/2002 Injected, Greenwheel, Velour (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Sunday, March 24th, 2002This was a free show, most likely put on by Island Records (both Injected and Greenwheel are on Island), that was advertised on the radio and on the WBER website. I actually first saw it in the Rochester City magazine show listings. Anyway, I went with Dan, Jason and Michael, and we got there about […]
02/04/2002 Sevendust, Gravity Kills, Flaw, Stemm (Buffalo, NY @ The Sideshow)
Monday, February 4th, 2002I arrived a bit early, about 5:15, and the doors opened at 6:30. Luckily there was literally no one there yet, so I got to sit in the car most of the time and stay warm. I wandered around the back and met Clint from Sevendust for two seconds. Went back and actually got to […]
12/30/2001 WNY Food Bank Benefit: Goo Goo Dolls, Universal Honey, CO Jones, Velour, Niagara Falls Gospel Choir, The Juliana Theory, Spirit of the West, Lance Diamond with Them Jazzbeards (Buffalo, NY at Shea’s Performing Arts Center)
Sunday, December 30th, 2001This was originally going to be on Thursday the 27th, but due to the amazing amount of snow we received, it was postponed first to Saturday, and then to Sunday. I was already back in Rochester by then, so me and Mary made the drive back with our food donations to the show. I knew […]
12/13/2001 Nickelback, Saliva, Default (Syracuse, NY at the OnCenter)
Thursday, December 13th, 2001Got out of class and skipped lab (made it up the next morning) at about 6:45. Got to Syracuse a little after 8, to find that I’d missed Adema. Ah well. Got right to my seat (I still HATE seats on the floor) as Default was starting. They weren’t too bad, on the same order […]
11/23/2001 Cold, Dope, Flaw (Buffalo, NY at Showplace Theater)
Friday, November 23rd, 2001We had seen two-thirds of this lineup two months prior in Rochester, so there was plenty to compare and contrast between the two shows. Got in line about 4:00, Joe and Nick showed up, then Mary. Flaw opened, and they weren’t too bad. More of the same nu-metal stuff, with a bit more singing thrown […]
11/10/2001 Cake, Rahzel, Spoon (Ithaca, NY at Cornell University – Barton Hall)
Saturday, November 10th, 2001This was my 100th concert!!!! And what a band to spend it with! We drove down to Ithaca and were one of the first people in line. Aside from the dumbass girl at the gate giving me the wrong side of the ticket stub, I got in pretty easy, and for the first time, I […]
