Rules for the Dance: A Guide for Survival and Enjoyment of Concerts

November 25th, 2008 – 9:15 am Posted by J Frazzetta

Since there is no proper etiquette for a general admission show, I’m going to cover some ground rules and tips for surviving the floor while trying to enjoy the show.

Be sure to eat before the show and have some water. When you’re on the floor you may not get a chance to use the [...]

Gig Review: Nine Inch Nails, Verizon Wireless Arena, Manchester NH, 11/8/08

After a tough morning at the Phantom Gourmet Phest, I decided to follow that up with Nine Inch Nails in Manchester. How could I miss their only NH appearance? This would be my first time seeing Trent and Co. Touring behind their latest releases The Slip and Ghosts I-IV, there was plenty of new material [...]

Gig Review: Herbie Hancock, Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, 8/13/08

If you listened to WKNH from 2003 to 2005 and heard the intro riff of “Chameleon”, then you probably were listening to my show: The Alternative Pollution. Herbie Hancock’s funky tune was my intro every week as I played new alt-rock for the next few hours. At a staggering 15 minutes for the song, I [...]

You could ask me how this show was, or you could ask: Gwyneth Paltrow, Blythe Danner, Kate Bosworth, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, Tom Brady, even Gisele Bundchen. You’ll probably get the same answer: awesome.

We hit up the Garden for our first encounter with Chris Martin and company. The end stage set in place, a [...]

Review: Steve Centorino, Tom’s Gourmet Marketplace

This past Saturday, my new husband, our best friends, and I headed to Northboro, MA, to watch Steve Centorino perform at Tom’s Gourmet Marketplace.  We had not heard Steve perform nor been to this restaurant/shop previously.  We were delighted with both.
Steve did an excellent job combining original songs and covers throughout his two and a [...]

Gig Review: Vans Warped Tour, Comcast Center, 7/23/08

More fan friendly, even if the fans aren’t friendly. Cheaper than seeing Ozzy Osbourne haul his carcass on stage to forget the words to ‘Crazy Train’. My first encounter with the Vans Warped Tour was an interesting one.

Taking over the newly renamed Comcast Center – Great Woods to those in the know – something [...]

Gig Review: Toadies, The Middle East Downstairs, Cambridge MA, 6/27/08

The Middle East Downstairs is a great place to see a show. It should be on your list of places to check out before you die. Very small, capacity of about 500, you really get to spend time with a band and those around you. As Todd Lewis took the microphone, he remarked, “It’s [...]
