10/24/2000 POD, (hed)pe, Project86 (Rochester, NY @ Water Street)
Tuesday, October 24th, 2000Project86 was okay, the lead singer reminded me of Serj from System Of A Down just on his facial expressions and such… they werent too bad, I got into a couple of the songs… I was waiting for (hed), and they ripped shit up again, sounded better than with P.Roach… played almost the same setlist […]
10/07/2000 Stone Temple Pilots, Disturbed, Liquid Gang (Buffalo, NY @ SUNY Buffalo Alumni Arena)
Saturday, October 7th, 2000Liquid Gang kicked this off with a bang… got the crowd into it, lots of energy. They played Show Me, Diagram, Rain, A Better View, Breakdown, Closer and Blunt Force Trauma. We met all the guys after the show and got autographs, real nice and down to earth guys. I had high expectations for Disturbed, […]
10/02/2000 The Tragically Hip (Rochester, NY @ Auditorium Center)
Monday, October 2nd, 2000What a show… $25 for 2 and a half hours!! These guys are performers. Played all the usual favorites, including Nautical Disaster, New Orleans is Sinking, Courage, Little Bones, etc… Played Greasy Jungle and Long Time Running, which I was told were very rare occurances, I was surprised to get An Inch An Hour as […]
09/22/2000 Nine Days, Johnny Society (Rochester, NY @ RIT Clark Gym)
Friday, September 22nd, 2000Good thing it was only 5 bucks… Johnny Sociery blew chunks, I mean, these guys (and one girl) were horrible. Yadda yadda. Then Nine Days came out, and for a pop band, had no energy at all. A real lackluster performance, and everything sounded the same. The whole crowd got into “Absolutely (The Story Of […]
08/31/2000 The Tea Party, Hundred Mile House (Thorold, ONT @ Arizona’s)
Thursday, August 31st, 2000Amazing. The Tea never fail to put on a great show. A good sprinkling of songs from over the 4 albums… They played Jeff Buckley’s “Halleluia” into NIN’s “Hurt” as an insert to “Save Me”. Then during the encore, in the middle of Sister Awake, they did U2’s “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” […]
08/29/2000 Papa Roach, (hed)pe, Not Waving But Drowning (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Tuesday, August 29th, 2000Not Waving But Drowning was from St. Louis, and I don’t recall being very impressed at the time. I do remember the bass player really being all-in on his performance though. As I said in 2000: “(hed) RIPPED SHIT UP. Period. Opened with Killing Time, (not in order now) and played Serpent Boy, Circus, Waiting […]
08/27/2000 103.3 Edgefest: Mest, Sum41, Nickelback, Fenix-tx, Eve6, Shelia Divine, Harvey Danger, Goldfinger, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Papa Roach (Buffalo, NY @ LaSalle Park)
Sunday, August 27th, 2000This edgefest sucked. I primarily went cuz I had nothing else to do on a sunday… Nickelback was pretty good, everyone else was rather blah. Didnt stay for bosstones or P. Roach… Highlight of the day was Goldfingers set… they brought out one of their friends to do a cover of “The Thong Song”, and […]
08/16/2000 Wang Chung (Buffalo, NY @ Sideshow Music Hall)
Wednesday, August 16th, 2000Yes, Wang Chung… another freebie! It was a lot better than I expected, and the one dude can really wail on the guitar! There werent a whole hell of a lot of people there… It was supposed to be 21 and over, but the cool security guard let us in anyway…
08/15/2000 Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Fishbone (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Tuesday, August 15th, 2000Fishbone was okay, nothing too exciting… STP blew the roof off the dump. What an amazing set! Played Sour Girl acoustically, then came out for a one song encore of “Sex Type Thing” which totally made my day. Nearly got into a fight during “Big Empty” with some drunk dude that Karl ended up knowing […]
08/13/2000 George Thorogood, Bernard Allison (Buffalo, NY @ Erie Basin Marina)
Sunday, August 13th, 2000This was a free show under the banner of “Buffalo Place Rocks the Harbor”; Sara went with me for the hell of it. Bernard Allison was the opener and a hell of a guitar player, following in his famous father’s footsteps (he’s Luther Allison’s son). I remember him playing a nice tribute to Stevie Ray […]
