by Sean W. This was my 2nd Maiden show. Two pals of mine drove up with me to the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA for this one. Anthrax was opening on their Persistence of Time Tour. I remember during Anthrax’s set that many of the folks in the front rows were sitting down and Belladonna [...]
By Sean W. In 2000, I still had my online music store (Acacia Music) and was still getting into shows free that had bands on Century Media and Metal Blade Records as they were my 2 main wholesale distributors. Lucky me. This King Diamond show at famed Jaxx Nightclub was certainly one of them. Shdaows [...]
by Ray DoRayMeFa It was the late 1980s, and my Lady told me excitedly about a new musician named Yanni. A few listens later, I, too, was absorbed into the masterful and sweeping musical inspirations. My exhilaration overcame my innate cheapness and I bought not one, but two, of those newfangled silvery marvels of technology [...]
by Sheila Duffy I squealed with delight when I first read the announcement – Séan McCann and The Committed were headed my way – and not just once, but for two nights! I would be joining friends Stephanie, Robin, Tom and Becky at Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD and Jammin Java in Vienna, VA. [...]
by Sheila Duffy We’d been looking forward to this show for a while! We arrived early to accommodate our Party of 5 and situated ourselves stage left in the front …we were in for a treat! First, I must thank the opening band — Aunt Martha — for driving in horrendous Friday traffic from Boston [...]
by Donna13 thanks to our friends @ www.queenconcerts.com for their support For this concert, I went with my sister and younger brother who plays guitar and is quite talented. He was only about 12 or 13 at the time. We did the same thing – waited after the concert for the limo to come out. [...]
by Mickey M. A family friend lived outside of Washington DC, to take a break I would drive down and spend a long weekend away from NYC. So I was able to tour the Museums on the National Mall many times. This was a time before 911 and you could just walk in and out [...]
by Rich S. I saw this website and then saw a ticket stub from a show at Merriwether I thought I was at. Turns out I was there the next night. I wonder if you guys have any full stands of the Dead (like 5 straight shows from someplace) To my dead-head brothers & sisters [...]
by Bruce Remer The first time I saw Zeppelin was about a month before at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD (Outside DC). We actually went to see the WHO. The ad posters said THE WHO, at the bottom was “With Led Zeppelin” in smaller print. We had been anticipating them because of the [...]
Ok, I admit it…..I totally fell for this novelty act. (If that sounds harsh, go back and listen to the debut album again…..Although, I’d be remiss not to point out that the “Stain” album a few years later was a hell of a lot more interesting than most of their schtick. Hiring the badass who [...]
