08/29/1999 103.3 WEDG Edgefest: Econoline Crush, Splender, The Watchmen, Showoff, Shades Apart (Buffalo, NY @ LaSalle Park)
Sunday, August 29th, 1999Ahh, the illustrious Buffalo Edgefest. For a couple years, LaSalle Park was the place to be every summer, as the Edge would usually get at least a couple bands I’d want to see. This year Econoline Crush was the big draw for us. Upon our arrival, Splender was first up, and we were fairly impressed […]
08/13/1999 Eve6, Velour (Buffalo, NY @ Sideshow Music Hall)
Friday, August 13th, 1999While I was never the biggest Eve6 fan in the world, a free show is a free show. Coke was running a promotion called IYDKYDG (If You Don’t Know, You Don’t Go), and I forgot what hoops we had to jump through to get the tickets, but it wasn’t much. I do remember the sideshow […]
07/02/1999 Friendship Festival: The Tea Party, Esthero, BTK (Fort Erie, ONT @ Mather Arch Park)
Friday, July 2nd, 1999The Friendship Festival was always one of those shows that we anticipated going to, and then wondered why we anticipated it so much. We’d always love one or two of the bands that would play, but the venue was never the greatest. For a couple years it was held at the Mather Arch in Fort […]
05/07/1999 Staind (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Friday, May 7th, 1999This was the first time seeing Staind while actually knowing all the songs, and hands down it’s still my favorite Staind show. I was on the Staind bandwagon fairly early. Between seeing them open for Limp Bizkit (which I didn’t really remember), seeing them open for Kid Rock a month before this, and then buying […]
05/01/1999 Sugar Ray, Orgy, Run-DMC (Buffalo, NY @ SUNY Buffalo)
Saturday, May 1st, 1999This was a free show put on by UB, and was actually part of the MTV campus invasion tour. Needless to say, there were TONS of people packed into Baird Point. Sara, Danielle, Mary and I waited in what seemed like the longest line ever to get through metal detectors, but then A) I found […]
04/09/1999 Moxy Fruvous, The Push Stars (Rochester, NY @ RIT Clark Gym)
Friday, April 9th, 1999This started the string of mediocre or worse RIT concerts. The Push Stars were okay, light rock, but every song sounded the same. Chris Trapper was the main guy in this band, and apparently has a decent solo career. Moxy Fruvous was entertaining, but I think they probably worked way better as a lawn concert, […]
04/01/1999 Vanilla Ice, Dial 7, Skarhead (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Thursday, April 1st, 1999Of any of the concerts I’ve attended, this one ranks right up there for the “you saw WHO???” reaction. Couldn’t have happened on a better day either. April Fools Day! The genesis of attending this goes back to early in my freshman year of college. A buddy of mine called me into his room, plays […]
03/27/1999 Econoline Crush, God’s Children (Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf)
Saturday, March 27th, 1999I don’t recall a ton about this show, other than to say that this started Mary’s love of Trevor. I know we got in quite early and were no more than 2 feet away from the band all night. The band played all but one off of The Devil You Know, “Wicked” from Affliction, and […]
03/21/1999 Kid Rock, Staind (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Sunday, March 21st, 1999We knew the show was happening, but weren’t really planning on going as it was a Sunday night. Kid Rock did a signing at the House of Guitars earlier in the day, so I went for the hell of it, and got a pretty sweet personalized autographed poster. Considering it was only 8 bucks a […]
01/21/1999 Fuel, Velour (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Thursday, January 21st, 1999Ahh yes, the show that it feels like all of RIT attended. Everytime I talk to someone that’s into music that was in our incoming freshman class, I swear they all say they were at this show. This also marked the first time we’d come across our nemesis opening band… Velour. A local Buffalo band […]
