11/09/2001 Econoline Crush, Mudmen, Lucid (Niagara Falls, NY at Evening Star)
Friday, November 9th, 2001We drove down to Erie, PA earlier in the day to pick up Mary’s sister Patrice, and drove right back to Niagara Falls to catch the show. I’d never been to the Evening Star before this, and was pleasantly surprised at the place. I was expecting this hole in the wall shitty-type bar, and while […]
10/28/2001 Family Values 2001: Stone Temple Pilots, Staind, Linkin Park, Static-X, Deadsy (Buffalo, NY @ HSBC Arena)
Sunday, October 28th, 2001Okay, the family values review. We got to the MMA about 5 or so, the doors opened at 6, show started at 7. We got a barrier spot on the right hand side of the stage. Deadsy was up first, and boy do these guys suck. Every song sounded like a rejected Orgy demo. Apparently […]
10/21/2001 Fuel, Saliva, Breaking Point (Syracuse, NY @ Landmark Theater)
Sunday, October 21st, 2001The Landmark Theater is a very nice place, much like a Shea’s in Buffalo. While a beautiful place, it’s NOT the place for a fuel show. Did I mention I hate seats? Besides the fact that nothing in Syracuse is GA over a certain capacity due to some stupid law, its always the least interested […]
09/14/2001 Godsmack, Saliva, Luxx (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Friday, September 14th, 2001This show sticks out for a number of reasons, in large part due to it being one of the first concerts anywhere after 9/11, and also because this was the legendary “tour bus show”! This was three days after 9/11 happened, and we weren’t sure they were even going to hold the show. Originally, we […]
09/02/2001 Cold, Dope, Lifer (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Sunday, September 2nd, 2001We got there pretty early, hung out in line for awhile, Joe, Janet and Nick met us, and Karl and Dave showed up later. Got inside, waited a bit, and Lifer came out. These guys were terribly boring, pretty ironic considering thats the name of their first single! Then Dope was on, and boy do […]
08/26/2001 Edgefest 2001: Our Lady Peace, Cold, Snapcase, Finger Eleven, Last Conservative, Reveille, Stereomud (Buffalo, NY @ LaSalle Park)
Sunday, August 26th, 2001Acutally made it out of the house at 9AM, got to the park at 10:15, waited in line till 11:30, Stereomud started at 12:30. These guys rocked! They played Closer Now, What, Don’t Be Afraid, Steppin Away, Leave (Back Up), and Pain. Didn’t seem like too many people knew who they were, but at least […]
08/21/2001 The Tea Party (Thorold, ONT @ Arizona’s)
Tuesday, August 21st, 2001We got there about 6:45, because the doors were supposed to open at 7pm. We met up with Joe, Rick, Janet, Sara and Danielle, and waited till about 7:30 for the doors to open. Then we got in and waited a whole lot longer, as the opening band didn’t start until 9:00. I didnt catch […]
07/25/2001 Slipknot, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Disturbed (Rochester, NY @ Blue Cross Arena)
Wednesday, July 25th, 2001We got there about 6:45, thinking we’d miss some of Mudvayne. Turns out their singer messed up his throat, so they didn’t show. So we missed half of Disturbed’s set instead. They were much better this time than at UB, but still not amazing. We sat in the seats for this one, we weren’t about […]
07/22/2001 KRockathon 6: Crazy Town, Cold, Taproot, Nonpoint, Drowning Pool, Boy Hits Car, Econoline Crush, Adema (Vernon, NY @ Vernon Downs)
Sunday, July 22nd, 2001Sara and Adrienne came up Saturday night, and about 10am the next morning we all rolled out down the 90 to Vernon. We got about within 5 miles of the venue at about noon or so, and traffic came to a complete standstill. It took us over an hour to go 1 mile at one […]
07/20/2001 Cold Edge Sessions (Buffalo, NY @ Backstage Pub)
Friday, July 20th, 2001This was one of 103.3’s Edge Sessions, where bands would come in and play acoustically in a hole-in-the-wall bar for 25 people or so, and it got recorded for later airing on the radio. You had to win tickets from the station to get in. Usually. Mary and I hauled down there anyway not having […]
