02/19/2000 Chris Cornell (Rochester, NY @ Harro East Ballroom)
Saturday, February 19th, 2000[Original post] Mary was even more excited than me about this one… CC played an amazing set, almost everything off of Euphoria Morning, Sunshower, Seasons, Fell on Black Days, Like Suicide, Boot Camp, and even All Night Thing! Some dude with an amazing Badmotorfinger tattoo proposed to his girlfriend, and CC invited them backstage after […]
02/01/2000 Our Lady Peace, Stereophonics (Toronto, ONT @ Air Canada Center)
Tuesday, February 1st, 2000I recall being super hyped for this show, especially after all of the stories about the Maple Leaf Gardens show in 1997. Mary and I drove into Buffalo and picked up our Clumsy Congress friend Niki, and headed up to Toronto. We got to the arena way, way, way too early, finally got in and […]
12/20/1999 Splender, 5head (Rochester, NY @ Milestones)
Monday, December 20th, 1999Much like with the Watchmen, after seeing Splender at Edgefest and buying the CD, we got to see them in a tiny club in Rochester. This was a charity show as well; we brought a couple cans of soup for the food bank. Local ska-ish band 5head was on first, and they put on an […]
12/07/1999 Oleander, Staind, Shelia Divine (Buffalo, NY @ Sideshow Music Hall)
Tuesday, December 7th, 1999Two Edge charity shows in a row! This show was roughly a month after the infamous OLP “turkey show”, and while there was a donation involved with getting these tickets as well, the story wasn’t nearly as involved… Mary and I simply donated to Toys for Tots and got our tickets that way. This show […]
11/17/1999 Our Lady Peace, Velour (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Wednesday, November 17th, 1999This show is one of my all-time favorite concert stories, and it has much more to do with obtaining the tickets, rather than the show itself. And the show was nothing to sneeze at! So in order to get tickets to this one, the Edge was asking people donate turkeys to the food pantry by […]
10/08/1999 Creed, Our Lady Peace, Oleander (Syracuse, NY @ The OnCenter)
Friday, October 8th, 1999This show was a huge triple threat for us at the time. Mary and I were nuts for OLP, we really liked the Oleander album a lot, and Creed had just put out Human Clay and were one of the biggest bands in the country (and Scott Stapp hadn’t alienated everyone yet!). As college students […]
10/01/1999 The Watchmen, Caroline’s Spine (Rochester, NY @ Milestones)
Friday, October 1st, 1999After seeing them at Edgefest, and subsequently obtaining Silent Radar, Mary and I figured we should probably go see The Watchmen since they were playing a tiny place in Rochester. Starting things off, Caroline’s Spine impressed the hell out out of us! We had never even heard of them, and we were captivated for their […]
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 […]
