Alter Bridge continued their Walk The Sky tour at their familiar stop at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, California on February 24, 2020. They are supported on this leg by Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery and his solo band, and Deepfall.

With six outstanding albums to choose from, Alter Bridge has reached that stage where they could play for hours and you would still be able to wish they had played more songs. They played 4 songs each from their latest classic “Walk The Sky” and landmark “Blackbird”, 3 songs from “One Day Remains” and “Fortress”, and 2 songs from “AB III”. The full set list is below. This was perhaps my favorite sequencing of songs, with perfect pacing that took fans on an emotional journey.

There is perhaps no better concert experience than seeing a well-oiled machine of a band in a more intimate club or theater setting. The Wiltern offers multiple levels of standing room, balcony seating, a large stage, incredible lighting and perfect sound.

After 16 years together, Alter Bridge continues to rise in their songwriting and performances. Drummer Scott Phillips masterfully leads the group through all of their time signatures and sonic emotions. Bassist Brian Marshall is the epitome of cool, hanging back or stepping forward as the song dictates. Vocalist / guitarist Myles Kennedy just keeps getting better and better on vocals and guitar. Lead guitarist / vocalist Mark Tremonti shows his MVP status with his solos, riffs, harmony vocals and even lead vocals. This combination of musical brothers complements and enhances each other, producing one of the best live rock shows you will ever experience.

Michigan hard rockers Deepfall played the House of Blues in San Diego, California on December 17, 2019, supporting Hellyeah and Nonpoint on the A Celebration Of Life tour. The packed house was prepared for an intense, emotional evening, and Deepfall fit right in with their turn of the century vibe. Their sound is reminiscent of Creed, Saliva and Drowning Pool.

The band is comprised of Rich Hopkins (vocals/guitar), Nick Gray (drums), Tim King (keyboards), Anthony Battista (lead guitar 1), Max Carrillo (lead guitar 2), and Taylor Brandt (bass). Despite their opening slot and small stage area, they were highly active and entertaining. They featured songs off their latest release “Broken”, whose personal lyrics match the driving melodies.

Their only misstep was a cover of Journey’s “Separate Ways”, which was heavy but fell short in the emotional department. They violated the #1 rule of cover song choice, which is to never cover a world-class vocalist. This rules out Journey, Heart, Celine Dion, Dio and the like. They sounded much better when playing their originals.

Hellyeah continued their Celebration Of Life tour at the House of Blues in San Diego, California on December 17, 2019. The show was an early Christmas present as friends and fans gathered to celebrate the life and music of drumming legend Vinnie Paul. Nonpoint and Deepfall put on energetic shows to get the crowd primed for an intense, emotional set led by Chad Gray’s impassioned vocals and emotional stories. Guitarists Tom Maxwell and Christian Brady traded licks over bassist Kyle Sanders wild energy. Stone Sour drummer Roy Mayorga played the drums brilliantly.

Hellyeah decided to finish the album they had begun before Vinnie Paul’s sudden passing, and completed it as a tribute to thier blood brother in arms. The resulting album is as emotionally powerful as it is musically. The band performed a tribute concert in Las Vegas, and was touched by the love, support and catharsis shared equally by artist and fan alike. The rock and roll community is truly a family, and they decided that they had to “Keep on keepin’ on”, as Paul like to say, by taking the tribute on the road to visit family.

Chad Gray spent most of the show in the crowd, making a physical connection with as many people as he could – screaming together, moshing and crowd surfing. He gave several motivational speeches which lifted the spirits of everyone there. They ended the celebration with 2 Pantera songs, “I’m Broken” and “Walk”, joined by Nonpoint vocalist Elias Soriano. For the encore, they went back to the beginning with 2 songs from their first album. Music heals and binds us, and Hellyeah still has so much more to give to us all.
