An off date from the festival of shit tour they're on right now. This was my first time seeing them and it was a very good performance. The band sounded awesome and they're a lot heavier live than on CD. Great crowd to, the place wasn't a sellout but it was pretty close. The crowd was into everything, cheering loudly and singing along with all the songs. There were a lot of good sing-a-long moments in the show, the best being the chorus to Broken Wings.

Not that I wasn't expecting them to be good but they were better than what I anticipated. You know when you leave a show and you like the band ten times more than you did going in it was a hell of a show. I wouldn't have minded another song or two off the new one and Metalingus but there isn't anything to complain about with the show they put on.

No Metalingus or Watch Over You? Thats strange.

Agreed.

But Watch Over You hasn't been played in awhile on this tour.

Yes, everything come off great. That's why i'm not upset that they didn't do Metalignus. They're not doing on their current festival tour either, so maybe they're just giving it a break.

What a great show. They sounded perfect and the crowd was great. Open Your Eyes was a big highlight for me with the crowd participation.Miles seemed genuinly appreciative of everyone the whole night. He kept thanking us. Good stuff. My only disapointment was no Metalingus, but I got over that pretty quick. I hope they come back soon.

The future of heavy rock, with our without Metalingus

I wish they would play In Loving Memory. I know its not heavy, but man its a great song.

Alter Bridge kicks fucking ass!

I honestly think Ghosts Of Days Gone By is one of the strongest and best radio singles in the last decade.
