Two nights. Two completely different scenes. Same weekend.

September 13, 2003 — Curly’s. Dropkick Murphys with Last Target and The Unseen. DCF and AEG. One of those Curly’s nights that proved you didn’t need a polished venue to have a legendary show. Curly’s was raw back then. Vacant-lot energy. Dirt and torn-down buildings nearby. But the shows hit.

Then the next night, September 14, 2003 — Diamond Ballroom.

All hell broke loose.

Superjoint Ritual headlining with Strapping Young Lad and Spooky Fruit on the bill. 459 people in the room, but the energy was bigger than the number. This was Superjoint Ritual in their early, unfiltered era.

And yes — that was the show where Hank Williams III (Shelton) was on bass.

Phil Anselmo up front. Heavy support. Tight room. Loud crowd. A night that stuck.

Two nights like that are why 2003 was such a blur.

Punk mayhem at Curly’s one night.
Metal chaos at the Diamond the next.

That’s Oklahoma show business in real time.
