05/31/2001 U2, PJ Harvey (Buffalo, NY @ HSBC Arena)
Thursday, May 31st, 2001Amanda’s first real show! There was a heart-shaped walkway that jutted out from the stage, and we were about 4 people deep from the barrier at the point of the heart. PJ Harvey played a lackluster 45 minute set, I thought she was rather boring, a lot of others seemed to as well. Then U2 […]
05/08/2001 Econoline Crush, Velour, Agent Me (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Tuesday, May 8th, 20013rd day in a row for the EC boys! Agent Me was boring, Velour…. uuhhh, yeah. EC came out to a crowd that couldn’t have topped 150, a very dissappointing turnout. Everyone that was there knew what they came for though, and they guys didnt let us down. Adding Down By The Riverside and Flamethrower […]
05/07/2001 Econoline Crush Edge Sessions (Buffalo, NY @ Backstage Pub)
Monday, May 7th, 2001Mary won tickets off the Edge through Joe to attend this, and then was unable to go. So I went and took Adrienne, while Sara had also won and brought David. Edge Sessions is a small intimate setting where the band plays acoustically and answers questions from the audience. We got there around 7pm, and […]
05/06/2001 3 Doors Down, Econoline Crush (Niagara Falls, NY @ Niagara University)
Sunday, May 6th, 2001This was a really confusing setup, as we had been told it was free for everyone, yet NU’s webpage said it was only for NU students. So we tried anyway and walked right in! The fact that it was outside helped too. There couldn’t have been 10 people at the whole place that knew who […]
05/04/2001 Finger Eleven, Boy Hits Car, Drowning Pool (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Friday, May 4th, 2001View this post on Instagram 18 years ago today – what a great bill! @drowningpoolofficial with @boyhitscarofficial and @finger_eleven at the #showplacetheatre in #Buffalo. We had no idea who Drowning Pool were, but Dave Williams didn't take long in showing us, his energy was of course incredible. I think they'd released Bodies to radio and […]
04/15/2001 Godsmack, Staind, Cold, Systematic (Rochester, NY at Blue Cross Arena)
Sunday, April 15th, 2001This was the last show of this tour. We got there way too early, hung out by the buses, and met Mike and Johnny from Staind first. Mike looked like he was in a hurry, so we really didnt get to talk to him much. Johnny was really great and chatted for a little bit, […]
03/30/2001 Econoline Crush (Toronto, ONT at The Steam Whistle Brewing House)
Friday, March 30th, 2001This was a live webcast (available at http://www.virtucast.com), and you could only win passes, you couldnt buy them. Since Mary is on the EC street team, she replied to an email asking for passes, and received 4! So we took Sara and Joe with us. We got right to the barrier, and patiently waited for […]
03/24/2001 Our Lady Peace, American Hi-Fi (Rochester, NY at The Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, March 24th, 2001Another OLP show, another barrier spot… UPSTAIRS in the balcony this time! It was great to see everyone getting crushed downstairs and not actually being in it for once, and the view was incredible. We had a whole RIT crew going, plus Joe came down from RPI, and the other Joe came up from Buffalo. […]
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, […]
