BRMC & STP @ Nokia Theatre

This was one of those beautiful occurrences when I love not only the headliner band, but the band that is opening for them as well. Anyone that knows me well enough knows who I was really here for more than anything, but having two bands that you love tour together NEVER sucks.

Despite it being a short set and having a fairly empty venue to play to, BRMC once again did not disappoint. Every time I see them, it reaffirms my love for them as one of the greatest bands out there. There's no bullshit, no gimmicks - just a great band that plays great music. It was hard watching them and knowing that I wouldn't get to see them again for a while; this show was my 6th BRMC this year alone and I've been a bit spoiled to see a band I love so much so many times in one year. I'm thankful for all the amazing shows - they are, in my opinion, at their best right now. But, that doesn't mean I'm not hoping for another U.S. tour in 2011... ;)

I've seen STP quite a few times and when Weiland is bad, he is really bad... but when he's good, he's really really good. Tonight was thankfully one of those good nights and we were treated to an amazing set by STP to close out their tour. Kids were on stage, moms were on the sidestage; it's always fun to be at the hometown shows, especially when they are wrapping up the tour.

Their set ended with Rob and Peter sharing a look and adding "Open Invitation" to the setlist to close out the set. I couldn't have asked for anything more...(Wait, I could have... an entire set, but I knew that was out of the question...)
