Another fun show checked off the list at Pine Knob for this summer.

The show started at 6:30 with opener, Josh Ross. Brantley Gilbert went on around 7:30 and ripped through his set. He blasted through a set of his country/rock songs, even covering Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s “Blue On Black” and Hank Jr’s “A Country Boy Can Survive”. I loved his performance.

Nickelback took the stage shortly after 9pm. Opening with “San Quentin” and ripping through hit after hit. “Animals”, “Figured You Out”, “Photograph”, and a cover of “Copperhead Road” with openers Josh and Brantley. WRIF Rockstar winner, Kendall joined the band on stage to do that song. She killed it and did Detroit Rock City proud!

Great show, great guys!

  I had to get a picture with Brantley Gilbert's mic stand. It's the real deal! It weighs about 30/35 lbs.

  Great to see drummer Daniel Adair. People forget that he was in 3 Doors Down before joining the Back, many years ago!

  Daniel wanted to get in one more picture with me! HaHa I forgot how much Ryan sings during the show. Talented dude!

  A nicer bunch of guys in the business is hard to find. Super fun show!
