RIP Scott Weiland Quote

As I read the news this morning my heart hurt, another part of my youth slipping away. Scott Weiland Dead at 48 the headline read, and while the final story has yet to be told. You have to assume that drugs are the reason for his passing away in his tour bus, not matter he was doing them that day or not.  Struggles with Heroin and Cocaine take a tole on anyone body, and at 48 his body could take no more… That’s only 7 years for me, and that in itself is a little scary to me. I first saw Stone Temple Pilots on a steamy July Night in 1993 at the Riverport Amphitheater in St. Louis, MO. I wasn’t a fan, in fact I was an anti-fan, buying into the idea that they “stole” their sound from the Seattle scene. Alas, I was convinced to go, and if I didn’t enjoy the show, my buddy was going to pay me back for the ticket… They made a fan for life, and I saw them a few other times after that. Like many other STP fans I was disappointed when Scott left the band the first time, and rejoiced when he got back together with them. He was a great musician, and he will be missed by many, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. RIP Scott Weiland  ...

Zac Brown Band – West Palm Beach 2015

Went to the Sold Out Zac Brown Band – Jekyll and Hyde show last night at Coral Sky, or as it is now known the Perfect Vodka Amphitheater. I have been going to concerts here for almost 20 years, and they have done a really great job maintaining the place. Zac Brown and the boys didn’t disappoint either. Mixing old and new, the set list was similar to what I had found on line before the show, but there were a couple additions, including covers of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, and Let it be be the Beatles. They even did a Exodus teaser in the middle of “Who Knows” that I really got a kick out of. They dedicated “Remedy” to the people of Paris, and I wished my daughter was there with me for “I’ll be your man” Zac Brown Band – West Palm Beach 2015 Setlist Homegrown Knee Deep Keep Me in Mind Remedy Colder Weather Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen Cover Tomorrow Never Comes Sweet Annie Let It Be – Beatles Cover I’ll Be Your Man (Song For a A Daughter) 10 Minute Intermission Day for the Dead Free/Into The Mystic – Van Morrison Cover Broken Arrows – Avicii Cover Castaway Beautiful Drug Who Knows-Exodus teaser- Bob Marley & The Wailers Cover Toes Encore Loving You Easy Chicken Fried...
