Concert at SPAC 8/23

Alice in Chains? Ridiculous. That's like Axl Rose calling his new group Guns n Roses.

You would think they would do a better job of getting talent up to Saratoga while the racing is going on. I can only remember 1 time in 10 years that I have had a interest in what was going on over there and it was when Dave Matthews was there about 5 years back.

DMB is doing a show on aug 14th there.

Sadly I haven't been there since Pearl Jam in 2000.

They lose acts to the Arena in Albany which is just so sad. Acts figure they can charge more in the Arena. SPAC is one of the best outdoor places in the country and now they basically get nothing interesting.

I love DMB.

I hate SPAC! They make you drink your beer in that fenced off concentration camp with two port-a-pots where you can't even see the stage. What a joke.

Haven't been to SPAC since '91, saw the Teenage Mutant Nijinas tour with my stepson Josh...he was eight at the time.

Things have change a lot there and most of the shows there now...suck!

[sumitas]

Hell yes, Jerry Cantrell is the reason I'm going to this show. Last time I saw Jerry there was in '02 shortly after Layne died. He was supporting Nickelback. Before the show he was in the balcony kibitzing with the fans and then I saw him racing a 4 wheeler up and down the hillside down by the stage, his blonde hair trailing, lol. Ya gott a love Jer. And there's camping nearby, 2 night min. $35 total, Lake Moreau State Park.

oh, and Jerry knows Toby. They've played together. They are both from Oklahoma.

I'm sure it wouldn't that hard to find another junkie to replace staley. Jerry cantrell was the only real talent the band ever had any way.

opening weekend

saturday moody blues

monday 311

[blackthroatedwind]

I heard a rumor that Neil Young and Crazy Horse would be there Labor Day weekend but considering Neil has sadly announced no shows that sounds unlikely.

[Sightseek]

I saw Willie & Fogerty there last year. I've never been to a concert indoors, but I can't imagine it would be any better than SPAC.

I feel like this board has transformed into an unofficial message board for abovetheinfluence.com.

To disregard what Staley contributed to the band just because he was a junkie is ridiculous. Some of the greatest artists of all-time have had problems with drugs.

I couldn't agree more......one needs look no further than Miles Davis, Jerry Garcia and Jackson Pollack....though there are plenty of others.

these druggies and alcholics just didn't give anything to music because of thier addictions- hendrix-joplin-bonham-keith moon-brian wilson-bon scott-steve clark

Jerry Cantrell has perservered and soldiered on and to see him again on the SPAC stage will be awsome. I'm lookin forward to Slash too and I hope Jerry can join VR for a tune.
