Oh My! We are DEFINITELY in Jersey!
Just a little laugh to myself at my title. Yes we were in Jersey - Atlantic City to be exact. House of Blues was the destination and what an adventure it was to get there! First our directions totally took us out of the way and then I got rear ended two blocks from the hotel. The driver was watching two girls cross the street instead of watching that I, who was in front of him, had stopped for those crossing the street. Plus he was on his cell and didn't have his lights on! WTF! It's Jersey!
So Shinedown was headling at the HOB. The lineup was Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Skillet & Like A Storm. Unfortunately the singer from LAS was sick and they cancelled their set. Due to our "adventure" and the "accident" we didn't get to the venue until a little bit into Puddle of Mudd's set.
So just need to say that Shinedown RULES! Band and crew! Love them all! The show was amazing. I've never seen a bad show from Shinedown and each time I see them I am just amazed at their performance. For the most part the set has been similar but there are always little nuances that make each show special. Tonight's set had Brent and Zach sitting down on the risers performing "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" which Brent said went out to the Atlantic Records people that were in attendance. Also, back in the set is "Simple Man". I remember hearing them perform this just this past December and comments being made that it has only been performed live a handful of times since the departure of guitarist Jasin Todd. It's great to have that song back in the set list. It's definitely a crowd favorite.
I was reading today on a radio station's website about Shinedown and how they are considering an acoustic tour later in 2010. The band has been touring for their album Sound of Madness for almost three years now. At the end of the news item there was a section that looks like it was posted accidently since it was questions to ask radio listeners.
The questions were:
I saw Shinedown 7 times last year and there is no way I am tired of seeing them. What are your thoughts?

The questions were:
- Are you a Shinedown fan and if so, how many times have you seen them since The Sound Of Madness came out?
- Can a band tour too many times on the same record? Do you think fans get sick of seeing them play the same songs two or three years in a row?
- By the time this tour is done, Shinedown won't even start working on a new album until early 2011. Should artists tour less and produce albums more quickly?
- Would you want to see the band perform acoustically, or do you prefer a straight, loud, plugged-in rock show?
