 remickulous:What a great show and overall experience.
First the opening guy had the crowd laughing with a joke and pretty
good guitar playing, He said that he worked for the band over a year
now and asked if he could make a fool of himself and open the show, not
bad. Then the warm up band came out and rocked 7 songs of their own. I
was second row standing in front of their bass player. She was wearing
a short skirt and didn't always have her legs crossed, nice view.
Finally Alice came out and tore that place a new one. They were so
good, talking to the crowd, joking with each other. Jerry's guitar
playing is so incredible, every note like you remember it and then
some, especially on Nutshell he threw in a little extra. William was
just awesome, last nite of the tour, tired or whatever He gave 110% and
sounded right on. Mike was having so much fun you could tell, toasting
his beer bottle to the crowd and playing short segments of songs you
would like to hear. He started to play Rotten Apple between Sludge
Factory and Love Hate Love, we all wanted more of it but a
taste was all we got. Sean was laid back and giving the skins a
beating, i don't know much about drumming, but there is something about
His style that is captivating. The set list goes like this, Don't Follow Heaven Beside You Brother I Can't Remember Nutshell Killer Is Me Angry Chair Sludge Factory Love Hate Love No Excuses Down In A Hole Got Me Wrong curtains squeeze box Would Rooster Same
as all the other shows. But that wasn't all. I heard that they were
going to go after the show to a downstairs club called Body English and
watch some friends in a band called Metal Skool. They were covering
tunes from Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Scorpions stuff like that. Jerry and
Sean did show up and they asked Jerry to come up and jamb with them.
When Jerry got up there they handed him a guitar and He begged Sean to
come up with Him. They played Man In The Box to which the crowd went
crazy. Jerry didn't sing, but He had plenty of help from the other
guys. The song was flawless as usual, so cool that they did that and iI
was there for it And if that wasn't enough, I was able
to follow Jerry from that club outside to get his signature and shake
his hand. The only thing I had for Him to sign was a blank check
from my wallet, He laughed and said ok. He offered to sign my shirt
but I was wearing 3 AIC tee-shirts and didn't want to ask Him
to sign all 3. So then I went over to the Viva Las Vegas inside the
Hard Rock and found Mike and His manager sitting in there. He signed my
blank check also and shook his hand, we talked about the fires in CA
that are close to both are homes. His manager was a little uneasy about
the blank check, so she wrote VOID in the dollar amount. His manager
was so nice and helpful. She told me that Sean would be right back and
I should get his signature on the blank check too. When he got back she
pointed me out to Him and as He was signing my check, He
asked How much to make it out for. We had a good laugh and I shook
his hand saying thanks. After all that I asked Mikes manager if
William was around, she thought he was in his room and might be down
later. I sat there at my own table watching everyone have a good time
and a hour later here came William. Again Mikes cool manager brought
William over to my table to sign my check and explain that she wrote
VOID on it. We shook hands and I told him what a great job he was
doing. Overall it was one of the best nights of my life that I
won't soon forget. Everyone surrounding the band was so nice and
helpful. I have everyones signature and I shook hands with them all. I
can't wait to hear something new in the future if it is meant to be. Thanks
so much Alice In Chains for such a special night. All of you guys are
number one in my book. "I wish I could just hug you all....but I'm not
gonna". Your the best, lets do it again real soon.
NICE JOB on the review, that was fun to read......and you scored all those sigs, too LOL,
only a manager would think of writing "void" on a check
 ~ and only Sean would think of something funny to say about what
he was signing Sounds like a great experience for ya I celebrated my depression of not getting to go by putting in my 2 week notice

gypsy19: The Vegas show was amazing. AIC has a certain
intensity that no one can match. William has some awful big shoes to
fill, but he is doing it very well. He is a brave soul. It is such a
trip and a rush when everyone is on the same page singing the same
words, sometimes I just like to watch. We spend so much time everyday
and throughout our lives opposing and fighting and struggling against
each other. Then when we go to an awesome and amazing show preformed by
some very intense artist, somehow we all get on the same page....sniff,
sniff....its a beautiful thing.... 
Yeah, that totally describes it.....all of it....
