DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN were supposed to play in my basement in 1997, but we decided to cancel that show due to our landlord and neighbors being pissed at us for all the shows we’d been throwing that summer.  It wasn’t until 2000 that they finally came to Rochester, playing an expensive show at the Water Street Music Hall, a venue way too large for the band’s draw at that time.  This place had a barrier in front of the already high stage, it seemed silly considering the small crowd.  Still, it was a fun show, and they were explosive.  Their light show added to the intensity of their set, along with the  lightning fast barrage of notes being played over their swinging guitars.  Despite their crazy energy and jumping around and whatnot, they still sounded pretty tight.  This was with their original vocalist, Dimitre Minakakis, too, so it’s classic DEP.  Recorded by yours truly on my buddy Ryan’s camera, this footage comes right from the master source.  Watch it with the volume all the way up!
