Dave Matthews Band, 5.17.1998 First concert for me in over a year. Great show, Boyd's "Birthday Show." I sat on the lawn with about a dozen friends, and it was the first time I taped... |
 |
HORDE Festival, 8.28.1998 Back at Shoreline, saw some terrific bands. Ben Harper blew my mind, and I saw Guster in all its glory for the first time. It was also nice to just see a chill show at Shoreline, where everyone just sat around and relaxed. |
 |
HORDE Festival, 8.29.1998 Made the 2+ hour drive to see the show with a friend up in Martinez. Had a good time, Ben wasn't quite as on fire, but I was impressed with the BT opener - Devil Went Down to Georgia, which was basically just Popper going nuts. |
 |
Metallica, 8.30.1998 Wow, busy week in August. Let me tell you, though they may have sold out and fought Napster and whatever, Metallica puts on one _hell_ of a show. I was right next to the mosh pit the whole time and it was fun. |
 |
Tori Amos, 9.19.1998 For the second (yes, second) encore, Tori came out in a cat suit. 'Nuff said. |
 |
Bridge School Benefit, 8.18.1998 Wow, was this two years ago? BNL, Sarah McLachlan, REM, and Phish. Closer was Phish with Sarah and Neil along with a couple members of BNL playing I Shall Be Released. Still one of my all-time greatest concert moments. |
 |
Little Feat, 10.23.1998 First time at the Maritime. Tried to tape but kept getting the runaround - things have not changed much since then. A couple of okay bands, then Little Feat came on and you could just tell they were a _band_... |
 |
Semisonic (and Guster), 10.28.1998 I actually only saw Guster. First time seeing them on a big stage and first time at the Fillmore. They continued to wow me from when I saw them at HORDE. Wish they could've played longer. Brian put me on the guest list...good guy. |
 |
Dave Matthews Band, 10.29.1998 Multiple DMB shows in one year. Thought it was weird then, yet it's the norm now. Greg Howard sat in and I got a Minarets. Otherwise an okay show. |
 |
Dave Matthews Band, 10.31.1998 Another busy week in 1998. I was so young and full of energy then...Halloween show. The people were all dressed up, that's for sure. Got a killer Halloween, Joshua Redman just tore it up on IBYU and Jimi Thing, and then Greg Howard did this insane Chapman Stick solo into Watchtower...tight show. |
 |
Neil Finn & Friends, 11.14.1998 Went on the recommendation of a friend. The 7th Note Showclub is very small, but the show was fun. Good music, good crowd. |
 |
Strangefolk, 12.27.1998 This was their "Christmas" show for 1998, and they put on a good one at the historic Capitol Theatre. There were so many tapers there I was blown away. They even provided power to them... |
 |
Phish, 12.29.1998 Probably one of the 2 or 3 best shows I've ever been to. Incredible set, just blew me away left and right and all over again. The YEM was just epic, and I swear I was tripping during the vocal jam, but was riding on just music high.. |
 |
Phish 12.31.1998 To be honest, I thought the 29th was better, but it's new year's, and it's phish, so it rocked. MSG is a fun place on NYE... |
