Throwback Concert: Bush at The Capitol Theatre 2015

Ten years ago Bush reunited after breaking in 2002. The band, led by singer Gavin Rossdale, has since released three studio albums and has another one on the way: The Kingdom, which will be out this summer.

Over the years, Bush has put on some high energy shows. Today we look back at their 2005 show in Port Chester.

Man on the Run Tour

The Capitol Theatre – Port Chester, NY

 

About The Tour: In late 2014 Bush announced a six-week North American tour in support of its sixth studio album, Man on the Run. After a string of December radio festivals, the Man on the Run Tour officially kicked off in San Francisco in late January. Among the stops included The Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford and The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York.

The show at The Capiitol Theatre featured a nice blend of new and old songs. But for most of the evening, Bush gave its fans a night of 90s nostalgia by playing such hits as Everything Zen, Machinehead and Comedown.

Throwback Concert: The Who at Arena at Harbor Yard 2006

By Drew Carrano

The Coronavirus has affected a lot of bands, including The Who. They were scheduled to play a handful of shows in the U.K. and Ireland in March, but those dates have been postponed to the spring of 2021.

While the band takes this unexpected touring hiatus, we look back at The Who’s secret rehearsal and soldout show in Bridgeport in 2006.

The Who

Endless Wire Tour

Tuesday November 28, 2006

The Arena at Harbor Yard – Bridgeport (now Webster Bank Arena)

 

About The Tour: The Who embarked on a worldwide concert tour in 2006 in support of their eleventh studio album, Endless Wire. It was their first album and world tour since the death of bassist John Entwistle in 2002. The Endless Wire Tour began with a 24-date European Tour before coming to the United States.

But before their first U.S. show, The Who rehearsed at The Arena at Harbor Yard on September 9-10, 2006. The rehearsals were not only closed to the public, but it wasn’t publicized that the band was rehearsing in Connecticut until after they had left town.

The first leg of the North American Tour kicked off in Philadelphia at The Wachovia Center on September 12th. The band returned to Bridgeport in November for their first show in Connecticut since 1999. Joining them were special guests The Pretenders, who played a strong hour long set before The Who took the stage. The sold out audience at Harbor Yard rocked out to a two-hour Who set that included new songs off Endless Wire and classic songs like The Seeker, Who Are You and My Generation.

Throwback Concert: The Smashing Pumpkins at Mohegan Sun Arena 2018

By Drew Carrano

In 2018 we saw the reunion of one of the biggest alternative rock bands of the 90s: The Smashing Pumpkins. Three-fourths of the Pumpkins’ founding lineup – singer Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha, and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin reunited for their first tour together in nearly 20 years.

Today we look back at the tour and their show at Mohegan Sun Arena.

About The Tour: The Smashing Pumpkins “Shiny And Oh So Bright” 36-city North American tour kicked off in Glendale, Arizona on July 12, 2018. The summer tour would visit arenas across the United States, plus Montreal and Toronto.

The tour happened to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the band’s formation. To celebrate the milestone, The Pumpkins’ setlist featured mostly songs from the band’s inception through 2000, arguably their most popular era.  The set at Mohegan Sun Arena included songs mainly from first five albums: Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Adore, and Machina/The Machines of God. For longtime Pumpkins’ fans it felt like 2000 all over again.
