[Peebs]

Yea I left LI at 2-ish to pick up my boy in Brooklyn hoping to get there before 3, got there around 3:30-ish because the Belt was a nightmare!
left BK around 4-ish....
wasn't too bad till we hit around the PNC area on the GSP then it was the ride from HELL! bumper to bumper.
Got to AC around 7:30-ish.
But it was sooo worth the driving hassle!!

[christie1991]

Put the pics on a site like photobucket then copy the image code and paste it here.

I'd love to see your pics!  Glad you had fun!

Yea, I will echo all of the comments about this show. It was AMAZING!   And  i've seen the boys now 21 times and I've never seen scott go and give hi fives to the crowd after the show. He was definitly in great spirits and totally with it, and the boys were all happy and definitly enjoying themselves as a band. It was very sureal.  I'll post more later.

Thanks for the videos, robschmidt.   Sour Girl sounded amazing.  What a great version.  I guess ppl say it's tuned down, but that is why I like it, cuz the guitar sounds so cool, and he even does a bonus solo!  I love at the end out how Weiland kind of changes up the ending and the band just adds some cool stuff in.

Also, is Dean wearing that silver STP necklace?

Great show!  The guys sounded fantastic and while the setlist has been the same this tour, it was great to hear some of the "oldies."  My husband was jumping around like a little school boy when he heard Army Ants and Silvergun Superman.  
I won't rehash everything said but the Meat Puppets opened for them and it was a great nights for 90s nostalgia.  Also, before the band came out, Rob brought out Duke to wave to the crowd.  So cute to see a man and his son!
Again, awesome show and they mentioned they are working on a new album.
Fingers are crossed.

[T-Bone]

Wow, the Meat Puppets opened for them?  I thought they were mostly scheduling small, local bands.  That's awesome!  I didn't even know that they were still around!  It's great to hear about this show.  It sounds like the groups chemistry is building from when I saw them.

This was definitely in the top 5 shows I've seen... Scotty was on fire.

The band was tight, everyone was getting along, and life was good.

Great vids!  I was also like a kid in a candy store when I heard Army Ants.

I also said I can die happy.  I saw the boys together, happy, sounding and looking good again.    I AM SO GLAD I WENT!

[MedicBarbie]

I also forgot to say that it's been a long time since I danced all night in 6" platforms... and bitches, I still got it.  I make this shit look good.

I still don't have a voice from singing all night though.  LOL

Better then the last years show at the Borgata.

Is Scott on some sort of meds? He seems a little on the slow side lately.

From what I heard, he hasn't been very energetic during this tour at all. But it doesn't mean he's on meds. He's not getting any younger.

Again age has NOTHING to do with it, or nothing about being on the "slow side" he just chooses not to.

[DrGONZOakaRaoulDuke]

I'm so surprised that an audio bootleg of either this show NOR last years show at the Borgata hasn't surfaced. I mean, there is NO security. They don't search you when you come in. If anyone has it, please please please let me know.

I think age and not having the uninhibited feeling of being on narcotics may have something to do with it.

He also never takes off his shirt or pants anymore either. It may not have to do as much with age as maturity and not feeling the need to dance like a crazy mofo.
