Staind Tickets

In short: Halestorm was good, Shinedown was better, Chevelle rocked, but Staind brought the house down (for me, anyway). While fanboy (or girl) shows have their place, and building up to a crescendo might be a strategy, it was clear that the bands had a different game plan- declare that you came to rock from song 1, and don't let up. Admittedly, I wasn't there for Halestorm, and they did what I expected- end on their most popular track. Shinedown mixed up their setlist with released and album trks, but not in a set order i liked. Chevelle did the same, but in a better order, although w. less songs from the later albums as some would of liked. But Staind's setlist was extremely well done- beginning and ending w. 'Dysfunction' trks. The crowd only found cause to wave lighters once (thank Jeebus). Aaron Lewis came down to a stage in the crowd for an acoustic encore, and simply strummed through several sections while the (surprisingly good sounding) crowd carried the songs. Incredible. Needless to say, I lost my voice. Wonderful time!

All bands put on a good show. Chevelle had a short set so played the hits and two new songs. Shinedown had a great performance very energetic. Staind started off hard then went through a string of slower tempo songs which killed the energy. At least they finished strong with Mud Shovel!

The absolute BEST show ever! I am a concert goer...and this show was OFF the freakin hook! Rock On!!

One of the most memorable concerts I've been to - Floor at Merriweather - Could have reached out and touched the artists - Sound was excellent - All the groups were excellent - I'd see them again and again and I'll NEVER sit on the lawn again!

Shinedown should have been the headline band for sure. While Staind was good, they almost seemed anti-climatic after Chevelle and Shinedown. And Chevelle should have been able to play longer. Over all a good show.

The entire concert line up was good. However with Halestorm, Chevelle and Staind the music was so loud that the singers couldn't begin to compete. Shinedown was the only band that the singer was able to project his voice and keep the entire audience enthralled through the entire performance. Any chance to see Shinedown again I will go for!!!

I am not your typical hard rock fan and I had the most amazing time. These bands all sounded excellent live, as do most, and the atmosphere was entertaining and energetic!

I was amazed at how much i enjoyed Halestorm. The weekest act was Chevelle but that's relative to how awesome the concert was

I thought the concert was excellent. Shinedown puts on a great show and they are way too under-rated...they need more exposure so everyone can enjoy them as much as I have the past couple of times we saw them in concert! Chevelle and Halestorm impressed me as well! Staind was great too.

The concert was really good it was an awesome way to spend my 4th of july. Shinedown was the best there but everyone rocked!

It started off with Halestorm singing the national anthem, which continued into their first song. Later in their set the whole band brought out drums and with the drummer the whole band played the drums, drumline style. It was actually pretty impressive. The next band was Chevelle, they played a couple of their good songs but didn't really have a great stage presence. The next band was Shinedown, which was probably my favorite band of the night. I knew all of the songs that they played and they were all better live for sure. The band just had suck a great presence on stage and really got the crowd excited to be at a rock show. I've seen them a couple times live and this was one of their better shows. And then the headliner Staind. They have been hit or miss when I have seen them live. They seem better in smaller venues. I thought this show was going to be a miss. The band came out and played their songs very well, but Aaron Lewis just didn't seem to be into it that much at the beginning. It was like 3 or 4 songs into their setlist until he spoke to the crowd on the mic. But then when he came back out to do the encore, all doubt was gone. He did three acoustic songs that were absolutely amazing and then gave it his all to end it with Mudshovel. A great way to spend your 4th.

This concert was amazing. Staind and Chevelle rocked my socks off. Shinedown brought alot of energy, and halestorm was a very pleasant surprise.

We drove 3 hours to attend this concert. Halestorm was an awesome opener. Very entertaining. Chevelle wasn't great but Shinedown and Staind were fantastic. We loved the that Staind included an acoustic set in their performance! Aaron Lewis forgot a few of our fave songs, but all is forgiven. We highly recommend this concert to anyone.

The 3 Stars are for Shinedown, Chevelle, and Halestorm (in that order). Notice Staind did not rate a star.

saw 4 amazing bands and could actually afford to take my son to it. the bands were all 100 percent hardfire professional rock and roll!!

I liked halestorm's cd, but they were not that great live. Don't really remember too much of chevelle. I've never heard their music. Staind was the headliner, and they were great. I had never seen them live before. But for me, Shinedown was the highlight, hands down. They put on an excellant show and have great energy that rubs easily off on the crowd. The entire night was amazing and I would highly recommend this show to anyone that is able to go.

The concert was AMAZING! Money spent was well spent! The only thing that I got irritated about was the fact the the mics for Shinedown kept cutting in and out.

I only saw the last three bands, but Shinedown rocked my socks off as usual. They were superb as usual, and this is my fourth time seeing them. Staind rocked too, as this was also the forth time to see them live, and I have to say my favorite time. Chevelle did not disappoint either!

Chevelle stole the show. Shinedown...did not shine Staind was ok I'd go just to see Chevelle again they were the best band there! (and I went to see Shinedown!)

This was a good show with one exception. Parking was quick and easy, easy access to vendors and there were many welcome bathrooms. Show lineup was good, Chevelle is always great and Shinedown is my new favorite band. Nice big crowd, lots of pretty girls! Sound level was disappointing until Staind got on stage, that's the one lowpoint there wasn't enough volume for Chevelle and Shinedown. Back on the lawn where I was I couldn't hear it the way I like to.
