Review:
Oh, the days when Friday Night Live! was not primarily cover bands. My first time seeing Pat McGee, and definitely not the last.
Love Seed Mama Jump at Herndon Town Green, Herndon, VA, USA
Review:
By this time, Melanie and I had bought a townhouse in Herndon, so we could walk down to the Town Green and see concerts. The Friday Night Live! part seems pretty obvious.

Alanis Morissette with Liz Phair at Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA, USA
Review:
My first time seeing Alanis, as she was delightful, nice mix of her then two albums. Liz was also great, adding songs from whitechocolatespaceegg.

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds at Landmark Theatre, Richmond, VA, USA
Review:
With the growing popularity of Dave Matthews Band, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds hadn’t toured much in the previous years, but this tour celebrated their CD release of Live at Luther College, which came out the day of this show. We got a lot of Before These Crowded Streets songs, which was great.

emmet swimming with Smartbomb at 9:30 Club, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
As the flyer stated, “we will be doing our recording for our new live CD, please come and be heard!” I could not resist that, so we went and we’re somewhere on Earplugs 50ยข. Not all of it, as they also recorded the next night at Alley Katz in Richmond and used that too.

Cake, Soul Coughing, Garbage & Hole at Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA, USA for HFSMas Nutcracker
Review:
Plenty of good bands for my last Nutcracker at the Patriot Center. I had always enjoyed Garbage, but Cake and Soul Coughing were fun as well. Then Hole just came to rock with nearly an hour long set.

Our first show with BNL as a headliner. Plenty of time for the full nonsense we loved.

We did see Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters this night, and I think we decided we preferred them sitting in.

Review:
The only time so far Dave Matthews Band has played two shows at this venue. We hadn’t been impressed with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters at the Tibetan Freedom Concert, so we skipped them, but did enjoy them sitting in.

Me, Melanie and her roommate Shannon went to this, mostly to see Barenaked Ladies. I don’t recall why we didn’t stay to see Ben Harper or Blues Traveler.
