03/14/2001 Our Lady Peace (Buffalo, NY at the Tralf)
Wednesday, March 14th, 2001The Edge hoarded most of the tickets until the day of the show, so a friend of ours managed to score us tickets. We got inside and were the first people at the barrier. Waited about an hour, during which we got entertained by this video reminicent of MTV’s Jackass, then OLP came out and […]
03/12/2001 A Perfect Circle, Snake River Conspiracy (Buffalo, NY at Burt Flickenger Center)
Monday, March 12th, 2001We grabbed Sara and Danielle from Geneseo and trucked to downtown Buffalo. Snake River Conspiracy was up first and were nothing super special. I hate their cover of “How Soon is Now?” even more after seeing it live. Anyway, after about a half hour, APC came out. Paz was up on a pedestal playing violin, […]
03/03/2001 Godsmack, Staind, Cold, Systematic (Utica, NY at Utica Memorial Auditorium)
Saturday, March 3rd, 2001It only took us two hours to get there, and we found a parking spot on the street (didnt have to pay!) and hung out by the buses for a little bit, met the guys in Cold again, Jeremy was showing us how he and Kelly are in the new ESP guitar catalog. Got in […]
03/02/2001 Variety Rocks: Matthew Good Band, Push Stars, Grand Theft Audio, Kurth and Taylor (Buffalo, NY at the Sideshow)
Friday, March 2nd, 2001This only cost us 6 dollars! It was supposed to be at the Pearl Street Grill, but they moved it to the Sideshow and it STILL sold out! Met my old friend Katie from the OLP board at the show as well! 🙂 We got there just as Kurth and Taylor were starting. One of […]
03/01/2001 Matthew Sweet, Gregory Paul (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Thursday, March 1st, 2001Gregory Paul and “The Bald Guy on the Drums” were up first. Just a guy with an acoustic guitar and a drummer, and they sounded pretty damn good! Reminicent of Jeff Buckley at times, same type of feeling. Then Matthew Sweet came out, and his band, including himself, had THREE guitar players! The band sounded […]
02/21/2001 Fuel, Jennifer Listen (Brockport, NY @ SUNY Brockport Union Ballroom)
Wednesday, February 21st, 2001Unbelieveable! We met Carl and Brett before the show, got autographs, Mary got pics. We woulda talked longer, but it was damn cold! Got inside and warmed up, got barrier spots. Jennifer Listen was up first. The band wasnt too bad, but their singer sucked, way too much playing with vocal effects. Anyway, after a […]
01/13/2001 Finger Eleven, Cold (Kitchener, ONT @ The Lyric)
Saturday, January 13th, 2001First off, after various stops, it took us FOUR HOURS to get there… anyway, we got to the venue about 4pm, and stake out the buses. Soon after, Scooter from Cold comes off the bus, and we get an autograph and chat for a little… then their roadie comes out and gives me a Just […]
12/31/2000 The Tea Party, Treble Charger, Velour, Oui73 (Buffalo, NY @ Buffalo Convention Center)
Sunday, December 31st, 2000I don’t think they finalized the openers until right before they went on, because there were a million bands being thrown around as openers… that being said, they shoulda picked someone else. Oui73 was very boring, and the lead singer coulda got thrown out of a thrift store, he was dressed so badly. Velour, though […]
12/05/2000 Orgy, Lifehouse, Dust For Life (Buffalo, NY @ Sideshow Music Hall)
Tuesday, December 5th, 2000I almost didnt go, but some last minute scrambling ensured that Sara and Danielle would have a ride there and back and I would have a ticket… Dust For Life was much better this time around, I thought they sounded better and it wasn’t quite as boring as the Geneseo show. They started the first […]
11/18/2000 3 Doors Down, Shades Apart, Dust For Life (Geneseo, NY @ Kuhl Gym)
Saturday, November 18th, 2000I got disappointed before the show even started, because COLD was also supposed to be on the bill, but canceled because of “bus trouble”, a.k.a. they were told to practice for the upcoming Marilyn Manson tour. In any event, I was soured on the show before it even started. Dust For Life was okay, a […]
