Last night’s Shinedown was spectacular. Hit after hit! And to think the first time I saw them play was just for me in the studio playing “Fly From The Inside”. Man, where has the time gone!??!

Papa Roach killed it, as always. I didn’t get to see Spiritbox, but Brent Smith made sure to take Jade and I got to meet singer, Courtney, afterwards to say Hello. She was really cool to talk to.

Alright, enough of my blabbing. Check out some photos that WRIF photog, Will Spurrier took, along with some of mine.
