The Presidents Of The United States Of America

Presidential Files:

The very first concert (ticket)I went to was the Presidents. It was at Peadody's Downunder, in Cleveland, Ohio. This was back in 1995, before they hit it big. The concert was on election day(November 7), a very fitting day for it. This was a great concert, it started off with Love Battery, a grunge type band, that wasn't too bad. During the act, Jason popped up behind the booth were the T-shirts were being sold, and he was talking to the guy back there, and to others that came up. After the opener, the stage guy was messing around with the equipment. During this time, Chris came out of his dressing room, and was checking out the scene. It just so happens, my friends(Dan, Brian, and Christine) and I were standing right there. Dan said hey, shook his hand, and talked for a second, I shook hands and said, "What's Up?". Christine and Brian just sort of stood there(they didn't really know who PUSA was then). Then the guys got onstage, and rocked out, of course starting with "Kick Out The Jams". The entire concert and encore were just awsome. One of the best parts was during "Naked And Famous", the fourth song. This was during the time Art Modell left Cleveland and pissed everyone off. So during the song, Chris added some lyrics, they go as follows; "I met an owner who didn't like the smell of it, and took his ball club to Baltimore just for the hell of it!" This shows how spontanious he can be. All together, I'd have to say that this was a pretty good first concert. More Files.
