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.

Vertical Horizon, Bloodhound Gang, Mary Prankster, SR-71, Deftones, Filter, Nine Days, Godsmack, Eve 6, Third Eye Blind & Stone Temple Pilots at FedExField, Landover, MD, USA for HFStival
Review:
The HFStival moved to FedEx Field for my first concert there as well. It’s not a bad place for a football game, but it’s not a good place for a concert. Fine line up, though.

Review:
Melanie was a big fan of Nine Inch Nails, and I was happy to see them again. They played all the songs we wanted.

Fighting Gravity with Mile Post Nine at Herndon Town Green, Herndon, VA, USA
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.

Albita, Rufus Wainwright, Chaka Khan, k.d. lang, Melissa Etheridge, Michael Feinstein, Pet Shop Boys, George Michael & Garth Brooks at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Washington, DC, USA for Equality Rocks
Review:
A great day for a great cause with great artists, but the thing I’ll never forget is George Michael performing with Garth Brooks. And the only time I saw either of them (or Chaka Khan). Melissa Etheridge did the odd thing of playing two different sets during the show.

Peter, Paul & Mary, Keb’ Mo’, Clint Black, Carole King, Monica, Third Eye Blind & James Taylor at National Mall, Washington, DC, USA for Earth Day
Review:
My second Earth Day on the Mall, and with a lot of legends. Highlights were Clint Black covering Monty Python, and Carole King being joined on “You’ve Got A Friend” by David Crosby and James Taylor.
Washington Post review
The whole show is up as a stream at C-SPAN, so I won’t present each musician as their own stream as usual.

A free record release show at the place I bought tickets from and right around the corner from work? Yes, I was there.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young at MCI Center, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
I’d seen Neil Young, but not the rest, and I knew how rare it was for them to tour together. It was great, long show, full of not only CSNY songs, but also CSN and solo ones.

Matthew Sweet at 9:30 Club, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
After missing Matthew Sweet in 1995, I really wanted to see him and finally saw him at the club. At the time, I called it an “amazing show”.
