This show was SO MUCH BETTER than the DC101 show yesterday.
What these guys do is so special....they can make a tired old man feel young again, even if for only 90+ minutes!!!
I was really tired after the day-long festival yesterday, and had a long day today as well.
1st band I saw today was FUEL w/ Brett Scallions. Damn they just FUCKING brought it today. They only played maybe 6 or 7 songs, but they were really good. Brett is probably one of THE BEST Scott Weiland imitators in the business.
After FUEL - they emptied the PIT and seated areas just to have us line up to re-enter the PIT area. Someone at the radio station, please fix this. If you have a LAWN ticket, take your ass to the LAWN...none of this "clear out after X bands play" stuff.
Next was Three Days Grace - I dig their hits off their debut album, but don't know much of their newer stuff. Good enough show, lead singer couldn't stop saying "Come On" to the crowd trying to get a singalong going.
Alice in Chains came out as night began to drop. Jesus did they get everyone fired up! All the stoners were waiting for "Man in the Box", but I thought "Acid Bubble" was the best jam of the night.
STP came on around 9:30 and tore the roof off the place with "Vasoline". SW was looking quite stylish in a black suit and red tie, and was sounding VERY GOOD - pretty much nailed all songs lyrically this evening. "BAGMAN" and "TUMBLE" were especially good.
When Scott started talking about "legendary bands", I knew he was going to bring Jerry out. I'm uploading the copy I've got of STT w/ Cantrell, but the audio is just garbage. I picked up a new Canon Powershot SX210IS last weekend and tried it out on these two gigs. They pick up way too much bass and distort the audio. Sorry guys.
Some dude got to start off D&B out of the crowd tonight...he looked like he was going to have a panic attack up there! Anyways, congrats to you dude!
So much for the mini-tour, hope the fellas have safe travels overseas!!!
