On September 30, 2001, 3 Doors Down brought The Better Life Tour to the Utica Memorial Auditorium, riding high on “Kryptonite” and the multi-platinum success of their debut album. The show landed less than three weeks after September 11th, part of a tour that kept rolling through a country still finding its footing. Twenty-five years later, it’s a snapshot of the post-grunge band at the absolute peak of its commercial run, playing a mid-sized Upstate arena on the way to becoming one of the era’s defining rock acts.
