Save Ferris, Everclear, Sugar Ray & The Verve at Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA, USA for HFSMas Nutcracker 1997

Review:

Save Ferris was a fun ska group with a killer cover of “Come On Eileen”. Also really cool of them to bring The Specials out with them. Everclear was always good to see, while Sugar Ray and The Verve were new to me, but played their hits (well, except Bitter Sweet Symphony). The last band to play was The Cure, and I insisted we leave. I cannot stand Robert Smith’s voice.

The Wallflowers with The Jayhawks & Maypole at Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA, USA

Review:

By this point, I just couldn’t get enough of The Wallflowers or The Jayhawks. Funny that The Wallflowers played only 3 more songs than when they were an opener in August.

Jamie Blake at Hard Rock Cafe, Washington, DC, USA

Review:

For a long time, this was the only show I’d gone to I didn’t have a date for as there was no ticket and I failed to write it down at the time. But I took a deep dive through Washington Post microfiches at the library and found it. I wished I remember as much about the show.
