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 […]
10/31/2000 (hed)pe, Agent Me (Buffalo, NY @ The Sideshow)
Tuesday, October 31st, 2000Halloween. 5 Bucks. (hed)pe. What the hell more could I ask for? Showed up in the middle of Agent Me’s set, they’re some local band, they were okay. I was very surprised at the lack of people in the beginning… got a barrier spot right away. (hed) comes out… better than the two Rochester shows […]
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 […]
