04/17/1998 Fastball (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Friday, April 17th, 1998Other than the fact that I have the ticket stub, and went with Katie, I don’t remember much from this show at all. I have no clue who opened. I didn’t think Fastball was all that impressive, I recall being rather bored. Considering I only knew “The Way” and that was it, this isn’t terribly […]
04/11/1998 Creed, SamIAm, Cool For August (Buffalo, NY @ The Funhouse)
Saturday, April 11th, 1998Another place I’d come to see a bunch of shows at, either as The Funhouse on the small stage, or the attached bigger room that they called The Sideshow. This was on the small stage! I now had the Cool For August CD, after seeing them with OLP the year before, so I was pretty […]
03/07/1998 The Tea Party, Foam (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, March 7th, 1998So a night after the Variety Club show, and only one week after OLP at this same venue… more Canadian goodness with my first time seeing The Tea Party! Foam was the opener, and I don’t remember a thing about them whatsoever. The Tea Party, on the other hand, made quite the impression on this […]
03/06/1998 Variety Rocks: Treble Charger, Ron Hawkins, Irving Klaws (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Friday, March 6th, 1998Poster from Wisz Poster. The Variety Club telethon is held every year in Buffalo, and they’ve held an annual rock show to benefit the Club as well. It’s usually local and regional acts, and this year was no different. I think it was like $5 to get in, and I really had nothing better to […]
02/28/1998 Our Lady Peace, Jack Drag (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, February 28th, 1998My first show at Water Street! Myself, Jon, and his girlfriend at the time wandered up the Thruway for this. The opener was Jack Drag, who in no way were memorable, save for the fact that a good number of us were hoping it was Black Lab instead, which would have made for a better […]
02/20/1998 God Lives Underwater, Fluorescein (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Friday, February 20th, 1998This show is notable for a number of reasons, not least of which was it was on my 18th birthday! Since I never got my blue card, this was also the first night I could legally drive after 9pm, how convenient! It also was a kinda-sorta-not really date with a girl from high school. To […]
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 […]
