Just wanted to say that the entire show was great. I have read reviews that have said Shinedown stole the show and I have to say they were very very good and took charge for the entire time they were out there.
The meet and greet was brilliant, very well handled and kinda strange to walk out the alley at the side of the theatre and see Aaron and the guys getting closer. Being first in line might have had something to do with it as well.
All the guys were really nice, Aaron spoke to me for a little while about being from Dublin and that they intended to play there a lot more. I thought we'd all have to go back in and make our way to the front to stand for the rest of the show, so it was a good surprise to be able to sit(or stand, your choice) in the balcony area with a really nice view.
Overall a brilliant night for me, thanks to all the bands who played and those who helped organise it

I have a difficult time believing shinedown could ever "steal" a show from Staind, especially having seen 2 of these shows on the stimulate this tour...glad ya had a great time man....Dublin to Chicago...quite a trip....sounds like it was worth the trip....
