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.

Sea World Orlando is celebrating its Seven Seas Food Festival 2023, which features special food and drink options and free weekend concerts at their open-air Bayside Stadium. Scott Stapp, lead singer of rock legends Creed, performed on Sunday evening, April 30, 2023.

Stapp played a 10 song set, with a 2 song encore, encouraging the crowd to sing along throughout the night. He also shared stories about how some of the songs were written, often mentioning his family which was in attendance. At one point, his young son joined him onstage to say hello. He played songs from all four Creed albums, and one – “Survivor” – from his excellent 2019 solo album “The Space Between The Shadows”. It would have been great to hear even more from that album, as it is full of inspiring music.

Creed, and Stapp in particular, have received an incredibly unfair amount of criticism over the years. This is completely unwarranted. Creed actually saved rock radio in the late 1990’s, setting the stage for the renaissance that happened in the 2000’s. Their songs are timeless, and have been passed on to a second generation now. The crowd at Sea World sang along to everything, and Stapp even brought the music down several times to let the crowd sing a cappella. These were goose bump moments, which hit as hard emotionally on this night as they did decades ago.

Scott Stapp sounds amazing. He is a family man and appears to be healthy and happy. The rock world can only hope that Mark Tremonti can find some time in the future, between Alter Bridge, Tremonti and his Frank Sinatra tribute to support Take A Chance For Charity, to get the band back together for another album and world tour. Creed’s songs are cathartic, emotional, inspirational and beautiful. They deserve to be experienced again live in all of their glory.

• Torn
• What If
• Weathered

Alter Bridge has begun their 2023 North American “Pawns & Kings” Tour. The first show took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida on January 25, 2023. Red and Mammoth WVH featuring Wolfgang Van Halen were the supporting acts.

The Events Center at the Hard Rock Tampa is a perfect venue for concerts. The floor section was open for standing, and there are 4 sets of bleacher seating behind that. That allows every attendee to choose their preferred viewing location.

The place was packed, and fans could be heard singing along to all of their favorites. Alter Bridge also played a good selection of new songs from their 7th album. Every song went over well.

Despite having 2 opening acts, Alter Bridge still performed a full headlining set, playing for 1 hour and 45 minutes. They got 17 songs in, covering their entire 2 decades of brilliance. Spoiler alert: full set list below.

Red opened the night with an intense set, warming up with the audience with their passionate performance. Michael Barnes, Anthony Armstrong and Randy Armstrong have been together for 20 years and it shows.

Mammoth WVH had 45 minutes to showcase Wolfgang Van Halen’s incredible talents on vocals, guitar and keyboards. Their songs are tremendous and sound great in person. Wolfgang performed every note of his solo debut album, so he had to recruit a killer band to play the songs live. Garrett Whitlock, Frank Sidoris, Jon Jourdan and Ronnie Ficarro are already a tight unit, delivering songs with precision.

Finally, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall, Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy took the stage, nearly 3 years since their last U.S. show. Their emotional lyrics and beautiful music are always a blessing to experience live in concert. The connection between fan and artist is clearly evident to all.

Go get your tickets and VIP experiences while you can, before they sell out. https://alterbridge.com/pages/tour

Alter Bridge Release “Holiday” Video On Eve Of Pawns & Kings 2023 Tour first appeared on Game On Media.

Alter Bridge will be back on North American concert stages this winter. These musicians return with a quiet dedication to writing meaningful songs and performing unforgettable shows (and they’ve delivered both with almost alarming consistency). Still, the influential quartet—Myles Kennedy [vocals, guitar], Mark Tremonti [guitar, vocals], Brian Marshall [bass], and Scott Phillips [drums]—ascend to yet another level on 2022’s Pawns & Kings [Napalm Records]. It is the culmination of almost two decades together soaked in blood, sweat, tears, and the triumph earned through never giving up. It represents the bandmates’ dedication to one another and their collective devotion to a devout fanbase.

They are bringing along old friend Wolfgang Van Halen and his band Mammoth WVH. Some dates will include either Red or Pistols At Dawn.

Alter Bridge and Mammoth WVH 2023 Tour Dates first appeared on Game On Media.

Alter Bridge burst onto the music scene in 2004 with the release of their gold-selling debut, One Day Remains. In 2007, the band released Blackbird, the album that elevated the band’s profile worldwide. The epic solo in the title track “Blackbird” was voted “Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time” by Guitarist Magazine. ABIII was released in 2010 and the single “Isolation” gave the band their first #1 single. In 2013, the band reached an elevated creative and critical plateau with Fortress. It bowed at #12 on the Billboard Top 200, moving over 30,000 copies first-week and earning unanimous tastemaker praise. The record garnered perfect scores from Total Guitar and KERRANG! as well as acclaim from Billboard, The Guardian, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, and many more. In between sold out tours in Europe and North America, the guys appeared on VH1 and graced the cover of Classic Rock Magazine who labeled Fortress, “The best thing they’ve ever done,” while Eddie Trunk called it, “A top 10 album of the last 10 years.” 2016’s The Last Hero gave the band their first Top 10 album since their debut. ALTER BRIDGE has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live and their music has been used by the WWE, Major League Baseball and NASCAR to name a few. The band recently released the video and audio of their career highlight, Live At The Royal Albert Hall, featuring ALTER BRIDGE backed by the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra led by conductor Simon Dobson. In December 2019, Guitar World magazine voted Mark Tremonti the Guitarist of the Decade and their latest album Walk The Sky ended up on numerous year end lists signifying ALTER BRIDGE are showing no signs of slowing down.

Alter Bridge Postpones Spring Headline Tour With Black Stone Cherry and Saint Asonia first appeared on Game On Media.

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.
