Review:
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.

Great White at Jaxx Nightclub, Springfield, VA, USA
Review:
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.

Review:
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.

The Emptys, Dog’s Eye View, Seven Mary Three & Spin Doctors at Georgetown Harbor, Washington, DC, USA for the DC101 Chili Cook-Off
Review:
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.

Tori Amos with Willy Porter at D.A.R. Constitution Hall, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
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.

Please do not confuse this band with the great English pop band. They were a Beatles cover band that one of our regulars played in.

Joan Osborne with Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies at 9:30 Club, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
Joan Osborne came out of nowhere with “One Of Us”, but in addition to Relish, she also released Early Recordings with great covers of “Son Of A Preacher Man” and “Wild World”. Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies was a fun jam band.

Foo Fighters with that dog. & The Amps at UMBC Fieldhouse, Baltimore, MD, USA
Review:
I’d missed the Foo Fighters (and Eddie Vedder) opening up for Mike Watt at the Black Cat, but I wasn’t going to miss their headling tour.
According to foofighterslive.com: “Someone in the crowd threw an empty water bottle at Dave during ‘How I Miss You’, prompting the rest of the crowd to join in. The song was cut short and Dave introduced the next song as ‘Alone + Easy Target On Stage’. ”
