Creed and 3 Doors Down Rock Pine Knob On A Hot Summer Night

It was a hot sticky night at Pine Knob, but the thousands in attendance didn’t seem to mind. Unfortunately, I had to host my Wednesday Night Bike Night at Diamondback…

Creed rocks Pine Knob!

It was a hot sticky night at Pine Knob, but the thousands in attendance didn't seem to mind.

Unfortunately, I had to host my Wednesday Night Bike Night at Diamondback Music Hall, but I heard from a lot of my friends that the show lived up to its billing. Luckily, Jason from the station was armed with his camera to take some great shots of the show.

Creed Played All The Hits

Yes, they played all the hits, and there are many. "One", "My Sacrifice", "Higher", "My Own Prison", and many more. It's great to see the band reunited and back on stage....just like in the Summer of 99'! Of course, Mark, Brian, and Scott Phillips are in Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy, so it's not like they haven't been busy.

3 Doors Down Opened The Show

Our friends from 3 Doors Down opened up the show, as they'll do throughout the entire tour which comes back to Detroit playing the LCA in November. Like I said, I didn't get a chance to see them this time, but you can bet I'll be at that show in the fall.
