Review:
Virginia Coalition were a weird mix of jam band and go-go. Still fun live.

The Excentrics with ebo at Herndon Town Green, Herndon, VA, USA
Review:
The Excentrics finally made it to Herndon. I had picked up a bigger battery for my video camera so recording their whole show wasn’t an issue.

A local country singer I wasn’t familiar with, but she made some good covers choices.

Kelly Thibodeaux and Etoufee, Great Big Sea & Cravin’ Dogs at Herndon Festival 2000
Review:
It should not be a surprise that I enjoyed Great Big Sea. I definitely made a note to see them next time they came through town. I have no idea why I didn’t record them with the video camera.

Moxy Früvous at Herndon Festival 2000
Review:
The band would break up after this tour, so I’m glad I saw them when I did. It was something in common with future friends at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. It’s too bad about what Jian did. After enjoying the previous year and noticing the town was broadcasting live on their cable channel, I bought a new JVC GR-D70U MiniDV (16 bit) video camera. It was the best quality consumer recording type at the time, so I could get a video recording and stereo audio at the same time. Unfortunately for this show, this was my first night with the new camera, and the battery it came with was much too small, so I stopped in the middle to make sure to get the finale.

Review:
My second time seeing Fighting Gravity, but my first since they’d changed their name from Boy O Boy. Thanks to their live album Hello Cleveland, I was familiar with all the songs.

My first Herndon Festival, and so much fun. Food and beer verndors, and great music. Gaelic Storm was the first Celtic/Irish band I saw, and riding high off their appearance in Titanic.

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.
