Went and saw my all-time favorite band last night at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando.

My god.. what an AWESOME fucking show. William Duvall is an amazing vocalist and is filling some pretty large shoes very well. The band performed as though they never broke from touring since 1990. They were all spot on and didn't miss all night. Played just shy of 3 hours if I remember correctly.

I've never seen a crowd with such a geniune love for the band and the music. Many times the crowd drowned out the band. It was just sick.

9:30 "Whale & Wasp" (from a recording) came over the speakers with a countdown clock displayed against the wall behind the band. The crowd lost it. The band came out and jumped right into "Again".

About halfway through they played a tribute to Layne Staley on the back wall behind the stage. Just a bunch of pictures and camera footage of the man. When his picture first came up on the wall the crowd went apeshit. Ear splitting screams. I'm telling ya the noise was deafening. Painful. The girl in front of me began crying about halfway through the tribute.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings. I wouldn't have missed this show for my grandmother's funeral. It was my last chance to see my favorite band live after believing for years that they would never tour again (after Layne died). Here's the complete set in order.

A couple of my buddies were there last night too, they had backstage passes because they were frienRAB were the merch person from Hurt, the opening band.
 
BASTARRAB! lol

Mike Inez came out to the front of the building to let one of his buddies in. By the time I saw his face and realized who he was he had turned around to walk back inside. FUCK!
 
They have came through KC twice lately and I didnt know whether to go because I didnt know if they would even sound the same. I am glad to hear they are still playing good and still have that unique sound. I will definately see them again if they come through.
 
FUCKING SWEET! I hadn't heard anything about their tour so far, and I am going to go see the in Wisconson on the 11th of Nov. Can't wait
