"We play so fine, don't you agree?" ~ Layne Staley

"We want to celebrate what we did and the memory of our friend." ~ Jerry Cantrell

Exact same setlist as the Atlanta show two nights previous, but great nonetheless.  Very rowdy crowd screaming for Jerry which he acknowledged several times and said "This is why we do this" or something to that effect.  He was a little chattier than the other two times I have seen them and really seemed appreciative of the adoration.  Here is the setlist although probably not in order since it is from memory:

 Again

Grind

We Die Young

Rain When I Die

Them Bones

Sludge Factory

Nutshell

No Excuses

Angry Chair

Man In the Box

Would?

Rooster

 

....that's why I'm always saying to showgoers to be loud.....they love loud.....

 

Cool, thanks for the review & setlist

I really wanted to hear Heaven Beside You on Friday night.........Kids today just don't know how to get an encore!

I'll be back with a more extensive description of the best hour of concert viewing I'll ever have. For now, if you'd like to check out some pics, I have an album on my MySpace page:

Bloodied by the thorns
Beside the leaves that fall because my hand is
Pulling them hard as I can."

I thought the show was awesome!  This was my first time to see Alice in Chains, although I've been a fan for years.  The sound is surely different but I think they were great.  I did stay around for Velvet Revolver...well, I went back for them, I missed the first song or two I think.  Anyway, they were really good.  It had been almost 10 years since I seen Scott with STP, and he was much better, in my opinion. 

NatureGirl...That name sounds familiar...I believe I remember from an old AIC forum I used to lurk in a few years ago...AliceinChains.net, maybe???...Anyway, it sticks out. What is your relation to the band. If I remember correctly you're related to....Jerry possibly?....If that's the case, please tell him the next time you see him that Brent Howell from Alabama says he needs to rock his ass off as long as he can! heh heh  Those guys are my band, as I've made perfectly clear, and now that I've been able to see them more than once, I'll hope to see them many times more...next time, they might as well head their own tour since they basically stole the show this time anyway...

Oh yeah, did everybody else get a kick out of it when Jerry said "Oooh, sounds like somebody faaah-ted" or something to that effect which William broke into the little blues song during songs? I thought it was awesome, and appreciated Will's effort throughout it all...Seriously, people need to get off his ass. He's not Layne, but no one will be, and he's doing a damn fine job in his own, autonomous right.

Wow, the show was incredible. That's all I can say. Saying more just wouldn't do them justice. I have some pictures on photobucket if anyone's interested:

I have a shitty camera, so the photos aren't too great.

I stuck around for Velvet Revolver, but I wasn't all that into them, honestly. I saw Scott with STP a number of years ago, and he seemed to be much more into his performance then. They sounded good, though.

 haha, and I remember you yelling, "Jerry's the shit!" I can't wait to see these guys again; one of the best shows I've ever gone to... if not THE best.

These pictures are pretty good actually, thank you!!

For 16 years I had waited to see Alice in Chains. Last Friday evening in Mobile meant a whole heck of a lot more to me than the standard concert experience. Getting to hear "We Die Young" and "Them Bones" back to back overwhelmed me to where I was a standing wreck. After the fifth song I was truly useless and was struggling to take in what was happening before me. This was beyond a dream, a wish, and a prayer.

William's performance was simply amazing. Until seeing them live, I had avoided hearing/watching anything recorded with him to keep my opinion open. I had never heard him sing a single note previous to them ripping into "Again" and let me tell you, I had goosebumps during that song they were so on it. Filling Layne's spot is something people will probably debate until cows fly backwards, but for me as a fan of the band since "Facelift" was still NEW, I couldn't be happier with their choice of frontman. That I can truly say "Alice is back" after a period of mourning their absence is proof that in this life, anything can happen.

Guys, if you read these pages, thank you so much for rising above and bringing your music back to the stage. You have made a dream I've had for nearly half my life come true.

Yep, that's the same me   ~ you must have a new name here, tho.....My relation is simply a big mouth   ~ strictly pr stuff......Use to be for Jerry's solo career, then he handed me over to William's band COMES WITH THE FALL & they won't let go of me  ....but that's a message I'd be proud to pass on, anyway

They hadn't planned on touring this year, so everyone can thank VR for that much.....altho I doubt that VR expected to have the show stolen from them every nite ......probably be the last time VR offers that  ~ that'll teach them....

I bet next year everyone's wishes for a headlining tour, gets answered 

As for effort, William gets onstage every nite & comes out with 200% ~ why? because he respects ALL the bandmembers & the legacy AIC has......plus, he loves audiences

I'm currently in corporate direct marketing (junk mail) and hate it like hell. I'm looking to make a switch soon, and will most likely get away from marketing in general. Still, how have you enjoyed your career in music marketing/PR? How is different for the better or worse, if you don't mind me asking NG.
