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.

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.

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.

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.

the SPAC is the greatest! I've seen DMB there a few times (maybe 5 times), the Allman Brothers (my bro and I almost got arrested), and The Dead (featuring Warren Haynes - they closed with Layla, it was awesome!).


I havent seen concerts at too many places but I absolutely love the SPAC. Its the greatest place to tailgate and the venue is SPACtacular!

I completely disagree with you about this.....and so does Mr. Cantrell.
He is on record saying, "Layne is irreplaceable."
