This was the best concert my wife and I have taken our teenage boys too ever and shinedown made it happen. My 15 year old son loves the band and went to the record signing here in Evansville, he had his guitar signed by Shinedown and even played an acoustic version of 45 for them in the middle of joe's records. It made his day and meant so much to him. So to the band... you are a great bunch of guys and have inspired my son in so many ways. Then it happened, Shinedown got us 4 tickets to the show. Ee wanted to go, but due to money issues could not afford to go. The band changed that. So in closing if you ever want to meet a band with so much heart and soul for the music they play, as well as for their fans ( THEY STOPPED SIGNING TO ALLOW MY SON TO PLAY FOR THEM. THIS MEANT ALOT!) Shinedown you are the greatest, most gracious and humble group of guys!! Also just found out about the 10-21-2005 Shinedown goes Platinum with 'Leave A Whisper' and my sons guitar was signed and dated on this day once again Thanks to Shinedown. So if the band reads this I hope you remember my son because one day his band may open for you, and know that Shinedown was his insperation.

That is very cool!!!!!!

We as a family thought so too we only hope the band reads it and responds so we know they know how much we appriated what they did as well as the band signing his Guitar on the day the album went platinum.

Wish we coulda been at the signing! I brought my 3 kids, Ryan, John & Erin.... we drove up from TN.... Roberts Stadium was where I attended every concert as a teenager, some 20+ yrs ago!.... We loved the show, and we will definately see Shinedown anytime they're in Evansville or Nashville!! You've all been a great inspiration to Ryan, too! Thanks!
