Just curious as to how many fans on here will be attending that one? I will for sure keep you all informed when I get home as to setlist ect. and whatnot!

I got the M&G so it should be fantastic. I can't wait!

Anyone else going?

thanks man
for the setlist and stuff.

It's July 13...where's the setlist? lol.

Hey guys! Sorry, I was so tired last night I figured I would get to it today.

Let me say that this was an amazing concert! I'll go into further detail later, because today I"m going rafting...fun fun!

Now, onto the setlist. No real surprises sadly...

Price to Play
Just Go
Fade
Believe
Outside
Turn the page (Just Aaron)
For You
IBAW
Right Here
So Far Away
Mudshovel

That was it. Aaron said he wasn't really feeling good. But it was nice to hear Price to Play and Just go, those were the first times I'd ever heard those live.

Like I said, I'll give you the ENTIRE rundown when I get home tonight. I'll do my tourly review for everyone!

Again sorry for being so late with this!

No tolerate? Well it looks like they didn't play a full set, was this with 3DD? They better play Tolerate in August cuz they're headlining, I gotta hear that song live!!!!

so much for it being a co-headining event...told you haha... 11 songs is weak, they didnt even play falling? they played 13 songs every night with 3dd in 2005 and even played 12 with nickelcrap... hopefully they start playin a few more

Headlining shows they play more songs so they will play it.

Ruh roh, I sure hope he's feeling better by Wednesday! I gots to hear me some "Falling" or I might just rush the mike and handle it myself!

Alright, well its been a few days and I've gotten a horrible sunburn from rafting...oh well..

So here is the rundown.

My girlfriend and I got to the Marcus Amphitheatre around 330ish as the meet and greet was at 415 but we like getting there a bit earlier to chat with the other staind fanatics.. We chated with a few couples that were first timers at the meet and greets and they were nervous. I just kept reassuring them that the guys are really nice and they will make you feel so welcome.

Richie ended up coming out around 530 or so and he led us into the main entrance and we just hung out there. We all figured we would be the only ones for the meet and greet but later found out that there was a radio station meet and greet as well so there were about 20 total I would say. Richie and I think the other tour manager, (not dave) led us back and we all lined up.

We got our new 8 by 10's of the band, that new picture, and I have to admit, I like it. So we got our gear out and got it all ready for them to sign. I brought this HUGE poster of the band and my girlfriend brought a rolling stone cover reprint. Eventually after waiting about 10 minutes, the guys came out.

They went through the line rather quickly, saying hello and being awesome like they always are. Then they came up to my girlfriend and I and signed our stuff. We were just chatting with them and we told Aaron that we loved Believe, and he said "just wait until you hear the rest." that just gets me excited!

We got our picture with the guys and said thanks again and we went on our way. We then got a drink and checked out the new merch. I got a few items and then we went into the venue and got in our seats. We had 3rd row seats but they were actually second row. The "front row" was right up to the black gate. So we sat there waiting for what we thought was Hinder coming on.

However, we were surpirsed to see a band that I had never heard of before, but I thought was quite good. Jet Black Stare. They aren't too bad. Lead singer's voice is good but not Aaron good. We sat and listened to them and they played about 4 to 5 songs and introduced Hinder

Hinder came on. They played their hits and whatnot and got the venue going pretty good. The lead singer was either having a seizure or was trying to dance..it was pretty awesome...

Then it was time for the main act, STAIND! I posted the setlist before and yea, as some of you said, it kind of sucked that they only played 11 songs...but I'm really not complaining too much. I'm just happy they found their way to Wisconsin. They really did do a good job and they got the venue rocking out hard! Aaron said he wasn't feeling very good that night and he said he was "just not that into it tonight", but it sure as hell didn't see like that.

The thing I love about Staind is the fact that Aaron said right before they started Mudshovel was "Thank you to everyone who came out, but an even bigger thanks to the people who came out to see us, without your support, we wouldn't be here for you to see." I really like the fact that he not only acknowledges everyone, but more importantly the real Staind fans. The guys really do care about us.

After Staind finished up, my girlfriend and I were honestly wiped out, and decided not to stay for the rest of the show. So we missed 3DD, but it doesn't really matter that much, I paid my money to see Staind. And they did not disapoint.

Hopefully I'll get pics up soon. I got some time tomorrow but I'm not sure if I'll get them up by then.


Trust me, it doesn't matter how many songs these guys play or how they play them, I'm so thankful that they are still playing and still very grateful for what they have.
