Candlebox doing their 20th anniversary tour for their self-titled album, and were to play it in its entirety.

A Birmingham local called Lynam opened the show and they got an hour long set (8:30-9:30). They got the crowd real worked up, but I only remember a part of their set:

Porn Star
Save My Soul
Is This a Heartbreak or a Loaded Gun?
White Trash Superstar

Candlebox took the stage around 10:00 and played until 11:30, a much longer set than I was expecting. The singer constantly moved all over the stage, and the whole band interacted with the crowd a lot so that was nice to see that they had a lot of energy, however, I didn't really care for the crowd though. To me it seemed mostly 30 year old dudes wearing affliction shirts and dumb girls wanting to get drunk and not get pushed

Considering it was a show only 45 minutes away it was well worth it though. The only thing I wonder about the set that it's missing "Rain" from the self-titled album. They might have played it, but I got a picture of the setlist and it was missing.

She Come Over Me
Arrow
Mothers Dream
Don't You
Blossom
Change
Believe in It
Bitches Brewin'
Simple Lessons
It's Amazing
No Sense
He Calls Home
No Lights
Best Friend
Vulgar Before Me
Cover Me
Turn Your Heart Around
Sometimes
Far Behind

Stand
You

This place could hold somewhere around 500. Surprisingly there were probably about 200 on a Monday night.

Back in the day I used to love their first album, then hated the second one. How is that newest one that came out?

I don't know it really well to be honest with you, but all the songs sounded great live. Really glad I went.
