Scott Amendola Trio, 1.18.2001 Scott Amendola is this incredible jazz/improv drummer who, along with two other tremendous muscians, really put the CoffeeHouse into a great groove. This was the first show of the Winter Quarter series and it was a very promising start. |

Greg Howard Band, 1.25.2001 To be honest, this wasn't the best show, since the crowd wasn't appreciating the music nearly as much as some of us on the staff of the Concert Network. I would like to see Greg Howard at a show where the crowd was a little more enthusiastic. |

Dave Matthews Band, 5.18.2001 Can you tell that I'm going to fewer concerts this year? Work has really been bogging me down. I haven't even heard the new album yet and DMB played basically all new songs - this was like a CD release party for me. I was quite impressed by how the new songs sound live. The highlight, by far, was Carlos Santana coming out for the rare mother/father, the also rare Love of My Life, and an utterly epic, astounding, best-ever Watchtower. My god. |

Dave Matthews Band, 5.19.2001 The show on the 18th was solid, this one was stellar. Tight playing, energetic show. Played more of the older songs, which was nice. But, again, there was an unquestioned uber-highlight. Trey came out for Lie in Our Graves and just had...one of those truly transcendental solos. He took it slow, he worked at it, and it was amazing. At one point, he and Boyd went back and forth, with Butch in the back chiming in a bit. Just amazing. |

Pat McGee Band, 9.10.2001 It's hard to imagine that I was at a concert on the 10th of September, 2001. It was a good show, actually, despite the fact that the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma had a whopping 100 or so people in it. The band was pretty energetic, and put on a tight set despite the poor crowd response. Pat and the gang did seem a bit...less than enthused about being there, but that's to be expected. Such a different world than it was the next day... |

Tree of Frogs, 9.27.2001 This was the first show of the SCN CoHo Series at Stanford. There's just something about seeing good music with friends, at a small coffeeshop, for free...with a band that just grooves like nobody's business. Tree of Frogs was simply amazing, and I even almost got up and started dancing (which is saying a lot, esp. after a long day at work). Wish I had taped it... |

Margaret Cho, 9.29.2001 This isn't technically a concert - it was a comedy show at Davies Hall in SF. Margaret Cho is from the area, though, and put on a very raucous show, indeed. She had a drag queen open up for her. Oh boy. |
