Collective Soul Concert

Impressive! I'm not the most HUGE Collective Soul fan, but I have to give them some huge credit. They rocked Stages on Friday night. Erin, Julie and I were right up at the stage and the view was amazing. The lead singer was on fire with his moves that played up the crowd perfectly. Jumping around, spinning his mic stand around and running on top of the speakers. It whipped the crowd into a frenzy! And every song was recognizable. It's amazing when you think of all the tunes that they have done that have received radio play. They did 7 albums in 6 years too. No wonder. Wow! Their new lead guitarist rocks too! He played a mean Hell Bells intro at one point (from AC/DC).... sheesh... they should cover that song!!! It sent shivers down my spine! They covered Squeeze Box by The Who... a fan favorite it seemed! Kudos goes to the Stages staff as well who did a great job checking me for weapons with their metal detector(*grin*).
