emmet swimming’s official album release show for Arlington To Boston was a sold out blowout at the club. They of course did a great show, but I was very impressed by Semisonic and got their album soon after.

emmet swimming’s album Arlington To Boston got the most publicity for any of their albums. It included stops and acoustic sets at 8 stores in the area. I went to this one because it was 5 minutes away from the store (and crowded).
Three Fish’s claim to fame was Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament as a member, and that’s who we went to see. There were rumors at the show Eddie Vedder would show, but no such luck.

I’d missed out on seeing Jane’s Addiction before they broke up the first time, and I didn’t want to miss Perry Farrell with his new group.

Worth staying up late to see these guys go through all their hits, a Doors cover and Eric and my favorite B-side. Surprised to find a bootleg of this show, but grateful to have it.
Another year, another great HFStival lineup. No Doubt, Garbage and Gin Blossoms were my favorites. Art Alexakis (from Everclear) remembers the show fondly. Here’s a video recap and an audio recap by WHFS.

Steeleye Span was a legendary British folk band that Heather was fond of. Lucky for us, we saw Maddy Prior on her last US tour with the group.

This might be Chris’s favorite show he ever went to with me, and it’s not because of the music. I was already a fan of hot sauces, but more along the lines of pouring Tabasco over my food. I bought a bottle of hot sauce from a vendor there, poured some over a chili dog, and took a couple bites. Pretty soon I knew what it is like to be pepper sprayed. I couldn’t open my eyes, and the beer lines were too long to get something to drink. I did enjoy the music, but eventually we left and I was soothed by a warm liter of soda that’d been left in the car.

Like the flyer states, all ages and outdoors for Cinco de Mayo. I remember sitting on a crappy white plastic chair.

My first time seeing Tori. I’d wanted to see her in 1994, but by the time a 3rd show went on sale (after selling out the first two nights), I had tix to a different show. With only three albums out, she played most of my favorites.
