Rock legends Creed brought their “Summer Of ’99” tour to the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida on Friday, September 20, 2024. 3 Doors Down provided direct support and Finger Eleven opened the show. It was a magical evening filled with stellar renditions of classic emotional songs.

Creed designed their set list to celebrate their three classic albums – My Own Prison, Human Clay and Weathered. Fans were in full voice throughout the night, as so many of these songs are deeply personal and burned into their brains. Vocalist Scott Stapp gave several long introductions to songs, pointing out their meaning to him, and encouraging people to unite, trust in God, and never give up fighting. His most inspirational talk revolved around not letting yourself or anyone else define you by your worst days. People are imperfect and make mistakes, sometimes repeatedly, but you can rise above those mistakes and continue to live the life that you want to live.

Lead guitarist Mark Tremonti was outstanding, showcasing his unique ability to play intricate beautiful melodies as well as shredding riffs and head banging guitar solos. Bassist Brian Marshall roamed the entire stage with a huge smile on his face all night. Drummer Scott Phillips was perched up high in the back, surrounded by massive video walls and plumes of fire. Tremonti, Marshall and Phillips are as tight as a live rock band can be, with their time outside of Creed spent playing in Alter Bridge. Guitarist Eric Friedman has joined the band on tour to enhance the live sound. Friedman also plays guitar in Tremonti.

Mark Tremonti gave away one of his PRS guitars midway through the set. He asked all of the fans to be as wild as possible during their performance of “What If”. He chose a young boy with crutches rocking in the pit with his father as the winner of the giveaway. It was a nice gesture, proving once again what a huge heart Mr. Tremonti possesses. Check out his work covering Frank Sinatra classics, raising money for NDSS – the National Down Syndrome Society.

Tremonti, which is Mark Tremonti’s side hustle when not leading Alter Bridge or Creed, has released its 5th hard rock album, “Marching In Time”. The band is as sharp and tight as ever, with rhythm guitarist Eric Friedman, bassist Tanner Keegan and recently added drummer Ryan Bennett fleshing out the consistently brilliant songwriting of Mark Tremonti. Somehow, he continues to create new riffs, new sounds and more relatable lyrics with each offering.

Tremonti is on tour this fall with fellow veteran rockers Daughtry and Sevendust, along with Travis Bracht. With this latest collection, the Tremonti setlist is as solid and inspiring as one from any of his other bands.

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.
