Charlatans/Stereophonics - Warfield

Lords of Acid/Praga Khan - Maritime Hall

Filter/Chevelle - Warfield

Dido/Tara Maclean - Fillmore

Half a year after her Bimbo's appearance, Dido graduated to the big leagues and sold out the Fillmore.  I remember the place being absolutely packed.

Tara MacLean - Cafe du Nord

I remember this Canadian songstress taking great pains to make eye contact with as many people as possible while she was performing.

Smashmouth/Luscious Jackson - Bill Graham Civic Auditorium

Aimee Mann & Michael Penn - Bimbo's 365 Club

A sold out show at Bimbo's for the married couple, whom I was used to seeing at Largo in Los Angeles.  I remember hearing "Voices Carry" live for the first time.

Imperial Teen/Track Star - Bottom of the Hill

Not So Silent Night - Bill Graham Civic Auditorium

I saw:
Bush
311
Blink 182
Filter

I got a free ticket to this show from Live 105 for showing up at some location in downtown San Francisco (I think it might have been the Levi's Store on Union Square).  No Name (who would go on to be a morning co-host on Alice for a number of years) handed me my free ticket.

I remember Blink 182 being really sloppy with their instruments.  It made me wonder how they became such a popular band.

Stereolab - Fillmore

Stereolab/Olivia Tremor Control - Fillmore

Dot Allison - Bimbo's 365 Club

The former singer of One Dove made a rare appearance stateside.
