08/06/1997 Soul Coughing, Star Kicker, Lance Diamond (Niagara Falls, NY @ Hard Rock Cafe)
Wednesday, August 6th, 1997This was a free show in the street adjoining the Hard Rock, apparently for the first anniversary of the restaurant (so says this article). The Goo Goo Dolls were also in attendance and made a presentation from the stage. I only know that it was Lance Diamond and Star Kicker that we saw as openers […]
07/24/1997 Link80, The Creepers, Johnny Revolting (Tonawanda, NY @ Discovery Records)
Thursday, July 24th, 1997I never really forgot about this one, but much like the Wide Mouth Mason show, it never made the list because I had zero idea when it occurred! Thanks to trolling the archives of the really cool @buffaloshowfliers account on Instagram, I came across the flier for the show! Cross referencing against setlist.fm, I nailed […]
07/05/1997 Lollapalooza 97: Orbital, Tool, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tricky, Korn, James, Julian and Damian Marley and the Uprising Band, Summercamp (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Saturday, July 5th, 1997I went to this one with my buddy Steve from the co-op program. My primary interests were to see Snoop, Korn and Tool. If nothing else, I can say that I’ve seen Snoop Dogg live! His set was pretty fun, but it felt like they only got through half of each song before they’d switch […]
06/28/1997 103.3 WEDG Edgefest: Goo Goo Dolls, Sloan, Moist, Buck-O-Nine (Buffalo, NY @ North Americare Park)
Saturday, June 28th, 1997This show was at Pilot Field, actually down on the ball diamond. Jeff, Christine and I arrived late, thereby missing Weezer, and we wandered around for a good long time while the local acts played. Part of the reason we all wanted to go to this show was because Cake was supposed to play, but […]
06/11/1997 Our Lady Peace, Cool For August, Puzzle Gut (Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf)
Wednesday, June 11th, 1997This show is ground zero, my first real concert. Looking back on it, the whole thing was a pretty good introduction, and I couldn’t have done much better both band and experience-wise! My friend Christine from my high-school co-op program was the person that gave me copies of Naveed and Clumsy (and Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” […]
