PromoTheRobot Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I bag on Buffalo a lot but the free concert series are always great. Buffalo is a world class city. Yeah. Not many cities bring in name talent to play for free. Anyone who says there's nothing to do in Buffalo ain't looking. I smoked my first spliff at the Rose Garden at a free Little Feat show. A small riot canceled the show before Feat when on but I digress. PTR

BillsFanNC Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Big Head Todd and the Monsters > Saliva and Klear I don't know. Of all the headlining bands in the series, Saliva is the only one that I have never heard of.
PromoTheRobot Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 A riot at a Little Feat show. Only in Buffalo. From what I was told, a concert goer heaved a beer bottle at a mounted cop. The arrest sparked a small skirmish and the ended the show. PTR
yall Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I would love to see Joan Jett on July 26th! Last time I saw her, was in Toronto, and people were tossing tomatoes at her! Since my band 'Big Balls' will opening for Joan Jett on the 26th, I hope people leave the projectiles at home.
The Poojer Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I am seeing them next thursday nite, it is being billed as a "Revival", I bet it kicks ass, I can't wait, he is also one my favorites Great list. My favorite on there is Robert Randolph. They're a lot of fun!
The Tomcat Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Since my band 'Big Balls' will opening for Joan Jett on the 26th, I hope people leave the projectiles at home. Are you an AC/DC tribute band?
yall Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Are you an AC/DC tribute band? We like to refer to ourselves as an AC/DC "rip-off" band. "Tribute" implies that we take it too seriously.
Chef Jim Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Are you an AC/DC tribute band? No the members met at the Elephantitis of the Nuts ward at St Jude's.
slothrop Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Yeah. Not many cities bring in name talent to play for free. PTR Gordon Downie played at Thursday in the Square two summers ago. The place was packed.
