07/15/2000 Deftones, Glassjaw (Buffalo, NY @ Runwayz)
Saturday, July 15th, 2000Missed most of Glassjaw again, but didn’t really make the effort either. This second date was every bit as good as the first, only 1 song shorter. They didn’t do One Weak or Lotion, but they did play Street Carp here, and the setlist order was a bit different. Chino did Wicked again during Engine […]
07/14/2000 Deftones, Glassjaw (Rochester, NY @ ESL Center)
Friday, July 14th, 2000The first of two Deftones shows in a row! By the time Sara and I got there, we only saw the last two seconds of Glassjaw, but neither of us were ever really into that band, so not that big of a deal. Sara didn’t feel like getting crushed, but I was all-in from the […]
07/03/2000 Friendship Festival: Moist, I Mother Earth (Fort Erie, ONT @ Mather Arch Park)
Monday, July 3rd, 2000Another trip to Fort Erie for the Friendship Festival, and we had a much better experience than we had for The Tea Party the year before, and we were on the beer side no less! We missed the opener-opener, but it was nice to see I Mother Earth again. They were touring in support of […]
07/01/2000 RAINN Benefit: Hollowpoint, Stemm, Flush, Mile5 (Buffalo, NY @ Runwayz)
Saturday, July 1st, 2000Another full-fledged local show, and as the title implies, this was a show to benefit RAINN: The Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, so definitely a good cause. Sara Slean was the “headliner”, but played earlier than I got there, so I missed her. Not exactly my type of artist, but she did the piano […]
06/17/2000 Homegrown: Hollowpoint, Stemm, Sleaze, Cradle, 3 Below, Figure (Hartland, NY @ Freedom Park)
Saturday, June 17th, 2000A local show to be sure, but one that was actually ticketed and was a decently organized event. I’d seen 3 Below a bunch at Showplace, Stemm once or twice, and I was pretty good acquaintances with the guys in Hollowpoint, so I hung out with them most of the day. This is also where […]
06/13/2000 3 Doors Down, Stir, Mile (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Tuesday, June 13th, 2000Brought the whole NT crew on this one (I’m assuming this was Sara, Adrienne, Danielle), don’t remember who else went… The openers were rather forgettable; Mile had a bunch of songs about “that one bitch I dated awhile ago”, Stir was decent (but I don’t remember a damn thing about them). To put this show […]
06/08/2000 Thursday In The Square: Moist, Shelia Divine (Buffalo, NY @ Lafeytte Square)
Thursday, June 8th, 2000Thursday in the Square was always a good time. Another round with the Shelia Divine that we had to wait through as openers. It was worth the wait, however, as Moist played a great set! I know they opened with Tangerine, and played a lot of what I wanted to hear, including Ophelia and Machine […]
06/01/2000 Staind, Apartment 26, Liquid Gang (Buffalo, NY @ Sideshow Music Hall)
Thursday, June 1st, 2000Mary and I had a decision to make on this night, as The Watchmen were playing at Thursday in the Square at the same time. We chose this show, and it led to the one and only time we got kicked out of a show. (Read on for the reason.) We’d never even heard of […]
05/06/2000 Train, Gas Giants (Rochester, NY @ RIT Clark Gym)
Saturday, May 6th, 2000I don’t recall a whole lot about this show, other than I almost didn’t go, then Chip gave me a free ticket. The Gas Giants were decent, I remember being in the crowd and saying to Adam “Geez, they sound a lot like the Gin Blossoms!”, only to find out they had two of the […]
04/28/2000 Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle (Toronto, ONT @ Maple Leaf Gardens)
Friday, April 28th, 2000Along with what felt like our entire high school, I got interested in NIN around the time The Downward Spiral blew up, and became a big fan going forward. With The Fragile being released the previous September, we were all super-hyped for this show. (Fun side note: to get these tickets, we dragged ourselves out […]
