Utica, NY. I believe it was 2001 and a local radio station had an arena show with the bands Cold, Staind, and Godsmack. After I had purchased tickets the station announced MGB would be playing a club show after, bring your stub from the first show and get in for like $3 or something insanely cheap. We arrived at the after show and waited....and waited...and waited to get in.
The club was at capacity and they weren't letting anyone in. Beautiful Midnight had just been released in the states and frankly I was kind of surprised at the turnout. So we sat outside in the cold for a while listening to the MGB play, it was cold so we eventually left. Of course the band broke up soon after and I never got to see them. I've seen MG many, many times since, but I still kick myself for missing this show and my only opportunity to see the MGB. Hindsight...oh well.
