alter bridge concert review from 7/12/2008

Published Jul. 14, 2008

Went to Dowtown Live Saturday night to see the band Alter Bridge.

 

I have been a fan since their first album...they have two out. I knew how talented the band was since all of the members are former players in Creed except for lead singer/guitarist Myles Kennedy.

 

I went to the show with the expectations of being amazed by guitarist Mark Tremonti...and I was but...when Myles Kennedy opened his mouth the voice of GODS came out!!!! This man can sing like no one I've ever heard!! His voice was so pure, powerfull, and unflawed it was mind blowing!!! He has a 4 octave range, can hold notes for 25-30 seconds and can play the guitar dayum good as well!!

 

I can understand why they are not opening acts for the big headliners. The big boys would be scared to death to have this band open up for them and BLOW them off the stage!!

 

Their cover of Kashmir would have made Jimmy Paige and Robert Plant stand at attention.

 

It won't be long before all the big bands of the 70's, 80's, and the few great bands of the 90's won't be around anymore...this band will stand the test of time, and will be around for many years to come.

 

I can only hope that some of you were there and witnessed musical excellence at it's best!!

I totally agree...Alter Bridge was awesome! I was in the front row & they blew me away. Myles has an amazing voice and their cover of Kashmir was insane! I loved it! I still can't believe I saw such a great concert for FREE. Downtown live is so much fun (beer tent included) & I can't wait for the Puddle Of Mudd show!

I missed it, sigh. We went to several last year and the only thing that impressed me was the beer tent. Looking forward to POM though!!

I'm a Fan of AB, and I did enjoy Creed alot as well, But I gotta say and agree, AB is a much better band, and I think Myles K. is the better lead for this group than Scott Stapp ever was. Wanted to be there, had other plans I couldn't break :( Dayum I hate I missed this one.

thanks for posting this. i never go to concerts anymore because i'm always disappointed when the leads start singing. i will definitely have to check this one out. i love alter bridge probably more than i loved creed.
