Creed Phoenix Review, Etc.

Hello everyone,
Just thought that I would take a few minutes to share some details of last nights show in Phoenix. First let me say that this was my 7th show of this tour and my 14th show overall, so I think you could say that I Love this band!

So, here it is: Our Lady Peace had a terrific set, mixing old songs with the new stuff, so there was something for everyone. Then out came Creed. They played the same set everyone on this board is very familiar with, except they would not play DSD or Stand Here With Me on this night.Scott looked like he was feeling alright and sounded excellent, and the rest of the guys played with a terrific energy that was definetly felt throught the night(especially for those of us in the Pit). The one thing that I noticed in Scott's brief commentary before some of the songs is that he really sounds troubled and confused, I really do understand why, and I hope that during the break next year he can get everything in his life going in the right direction. Anyway, just to mention some of the highlights of the show from my point of view. Weathered took on a whole new life, with the absolute passion that Scott put into the song, WOW! Of course Higher and My Sacrifice were incredible and brought the house down.

The venue which seats approximately 19500 including the Lawn area looked to be at least 3/4 full as I looked back from the Pit, so I thought this was a good sized crowd compared to what I have read about lately.

Well anyway, to sum it all up. The show was very good, not the best I've been to, but powerfull as always!

Now for a little commentary from me(keep in mind that I am not bashing, just maybe a little bit of a wish list). Please play Faceless Man more often, one or two shows every six months just isn't enough and Please vary the set list(not by eliminating songs). I know his voice is not 100%, but it has been this way for 4 years. Well I guess that was my rant thank you everyone for listening, and I hope to meet you all next tour.
