Alice in Chains and Velvet Revolver and Kill Hannah will rock the night away at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Who will bw there ? I've got my tix ...

Redneck that I am, I'll be aiming for the Toby Keith show a couple of days later.

Alice in Chains? Ridiculous. That's like Axl Rose calling his new group Guns n Roses.

You would think they would do a better job of getting talent up to Saratoga while the racing is going on. I can only remember 1 time in 10 years that I have had a interest in what was going on over there and it was when Dave Matthews was there about 5 years back.

DMB is doing a show on aug 14th there.

Sadly I haven't been there since Pearl Jam in 2000.

They lose acts to the Arena in Albany which is just so sad. Acts figure they can charge more in the Arena. SPAC is one of the best outdoor places in the country and now they basically get nothing interesting.

I love DMB.

I hate SPAC! They make you drink your beer in that fenced off concentration camp with two port-a-pots where you can't even see the stage. What a joke.

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.

saturday moody blues

monday 311

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 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.

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

or like kiss without ace and peter-or motley crue without vince neil. some of these bands should just shut it down if they are not going to get back together. mainly if you lose lead vocals. i seen warrant like 4 years ago without jani lane, replaced by the old lead of black-n-blue . now that was a joke. i really didn't keep up-friends got me a free tick and asumed they got back together. got thier and was like what is this crap
