Featured Review

This concert was absolutely amazing... and what made it that special was the atmosphere of the crowd. The show was sold out and there was a buzz in the air from the very start. Puddle of Mudd did not disappoint, as they ripped through their catalog with hits like Control, Famous, Spaceship, Blurry, Psycho and Drift and Die, and new gems such as Blood on the Table and Stoned. They threw in a cool cover of AC/DC's TNT, but the highlight of their set was when they broke into sing-a-longs of Tell Me More from Grease and The Joker by Stever Miller Band during their perfomance of She Hates Me.

Shinedown then took the stage by storm behind a falling curtain with The Sound of Madness, and they did not let up from there. Songs from their latest release included Devour, Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide, Sin with a Grin, The Crow & the Butterfly, Cry for Help, If You Only Knew, and their huge hit, Second Chance. They also played some older favorites like Save Me, Heroes, and Burning Bright. The two highlights of their set were a cover of Otis Redding's Sitting on the Dock of the Bay leading into 45, as well as their famous cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Plan, which saw Brent Smith bring the house down with his powerful vocals.

We headed over to the Cask after the show and someone selected a number of Shinedown songs to play over the jukebox. When Second Chance came on, literally every person in the bar sang the song at the top of their lungs. It was quite the moment and made for a very cool and memorable cap to a fun evening.

Winterfest 2010 - January 21, 2010
Dunkin Donuts Arena, Providence, RI

Shinedown (headliner)
Puddle of Mud
Skillet

A raucous crowd of approximately 4500 was in attendance for the opening night of Shinedown's tour called Winterfest 2010 here. Mainly an eastern seaboard tour for right now it opened with a 30-minute performance by Skillet which had the crowd cheering and pumping fists although most in attendance did not know their music. They are a former Contemporary Christian band who has crossed over to mainstream and are very talented in their genre. Hard guitar licks, heavy bass playing and an awesome female drummer who is also vocalist (lead & backup). And for a couple of songs they added both and electric fiddle and electric violin. They finished with their hit song "Believe" which plays on both regular radio and Christian stations.Great opening act!

After a short changeover, Puddle of Mud came out for a 45-minute set. They actually outperformed Skillet but got less crowd response mainly due to the fact their music is not quite as bold in style. But they definitely had some fans in attendance which helped out a lot. Their biggest cheer of the night was for a cover song of ACDC when they played TNT ("It's Dynamite!"). The 2nd biggest cheer was for their final song "She Frackin' Hates Me" (doo doo doo doo). They had some announced "Sound Challenges" and more than once the Bass guitar went out during songs along with a couple instances of having to swap out a lead guitar to get one that was picking up the amps correctly. The lead singer made a comment about this happening to him "about 100 times now!".

But to be honest Shinedown WAS THE SHOW!!! They got on stage about 9:30 PM and played about 90 minutes. My favorite song from them is on the 3rd album and with 1/2 the t-shirts all saying "The Mouth of Madness Tour" that is exactly what they opened with. I just about pulled a rib pumping my fists and singing along and compare it to some of those Rob Zombie Aerobic dance songs (he has many!) The stage was quite impressive as I counted over 25 strobe lights (the expensive $$$ computer controlled ones $2K each) along with some occasional fog and some nice walkways on each side to perform for the side crowds. I was GA (General Admission) on the floor and stood only about 10 feet from stage with virtually no pushing (or mosh pits, thank goodness). They alternated between fast and slow songs most of the night but the lead singer, Brent Smith, had a GREAT rapport with the fans. He could not thank them enough for putting Shinedown on the map and to be honest they make GREAT headliners. After a curtain call they came back for the Skynerd song, "Simple Man", followed by their biggest hit "Second Chance". I call that a multi-generational song because the lyrics mention "Tell my Mother, Tell my Father, I've Done the Best I Can" which has great meaning to me, but will mean something entirely different when my son sees them live. He even mentioned that he has all three bands songs on his Ipod and the crowd age was what you would expect for modern bands, 20 somethings, 30 somethings, and a few in MY age range. Good concerts seems to attract all ages to be honest and this was a GOOD concert.

I wished I had set lists but the guy in a wheelchair right in front of me got the Shinedown setlist and said he has collected many during his travels. I just shook his hand and said "Good Job". I did see the final list and it was about 15 songs total.

A nice way to start off 2010. A great time was had by all.

I have been waiting to see Shindown at the HOB, it is such an amazing and intimate venue to see a big band at, and the sound quality is always stellar. This venue really allows the fans to connect with the bands and vice versa. Skillet was amazing, I immediatly bought the CD when they walked off stage, their enery on stage from the second they played the first note until they turned off the mic, was inspiring and brought life to the crowd,it was really refreshing, the CD is awesome but it doesn't even begin to touch the live performance. Puddle of Mudd was excellent, got to hear all my favorites and some new tunes, they definatly prepared us to rock out with Shinedown. It was my third time seeing these guys and everytime just keeps getting better and better, the best part about those guys is they truely appreciate the fans and you totally feel that when they perform. And the absolute unbelieveable performance of the evening which completed the night was when they played, acoustically of course....... yep you guessed it "SIMPLE MAN"!!!! There honestly are no words to decribe how cool that was, it was truely breath takingly AMAZING!!! YOU GUYS ROCK, THANKS FOR A GREAT NIGHT OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!

I love Shinedown, but in terms of energy and crowd interaction POM just blew them away. I did enjoy hearing Shinedown live, but I felt if I had sat down in a chair I would have enjoyed it as much as I did standing in the middle of the crowd.

Skillett and Puddle of Mudd and the first opening band did a great job!!! Shinedown came out and played a ton of slow songs. In a venue where there was no seating you cant have the first three bands rock out and then have battle of the ballads... if shinedown is gonna put on a rock concert then they should be ready to rock. overall shinedowns performance was ok but they shouldnt be paired up with the other 2 and definately should not be a general admission only show!!!

This was a great bill, Shinedown and Puddle of Mud are always awesome. I have seen both bands several times. This was a great show as always. Puddle of Mud is definately one of the funnest bands touring. We drove over 100 miles to see this show. However the venue was all standing room only. Once you got a spot, there was no way to go to the mech booths, vendors, or even the bathroom(!) and still have a good view of the show. To have 7000 people trying to stand for the entire 4 band show was horrible.

i've seen Shinedown 4 times now and they keep getting better and better. We drove 450 miles to see Shinedown play in Peoria which was the last concert of the Sound of Maddness tour. i prever the smaller venue, but i glad for them that they are touring with Nickelback.

Shinedown was awesome. Knew all there songs they were great. Puddle of Mudd was good even with the fact that they were all sick and had sore throughts. But I missed Skillet because they decided to go on before 8 when the show offically started. and i was not there early because i had to work late. So i thought i was kindof jipped by skillet but it was still a good concert.

Although Puddle of Mudd's lead singer was sick and lost his voice, they still put on a hell of a show - Skillet was impressive - loved how they add a violin to their songs - Shinedown is definately a Headliner, However we went to see Puddle of Mudd and have seen them many times - would see them again when they come to the area!!!
