Review:
One of my favorite bands playing the closest to me they’d ever play and the last time I’d see them play a venue this small.

A second year of the HFSMas Nutcracker meant I knew what I was getting, and it was another great show. Garbage and Dave Matthews Band were my faves.

Bruce Springsteen at D.A.R. Constitution Hall, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
My first Springsteen show. After the Clapton show, I’d learned my lesson, and had listened to his solo acoustic album enough to make the night enjoyable, leading to my first rule of concert going: the more songs you know, the better time you have.

Poppies, Fifth, No Justice & Saigon Kick at Nick’s Nightclub, Alexandria, VA, USA
Review:
After getting a brief taste of Saigon Kick opening for Extreme, I was interested in more. Unfortunately the singer had split and the guitarist was now singing, to lesser effect.

R.E.M. with Grant Lee Buffalo at USAir Arena, Landover, MD, USA
Review:
Monster wasn’t my favorite R.E.M. album, but they certainly made an effort to play cuts of that and everything else.
