If you had to pick, which Staind and/or Aaron Lewis acoustic show was your favorite? I've seen Staind twice, never Aaron solo. My first concert was the Staind and Chevelle show in Fayetteville, NC, and I think that was my favorite Staind show. I had the nicest people in my section. A lady who said she used to work for 99.1HFS(an old rock station in DC) and her husband/boyfriend made my first concert experience very enjoyable one. I was starting to get in pain, but it was good pain, during Chevelle's set. When Staind came out, they opened w/ Open Your Eyes, let me tell you, I screamed louder than ever before when I saw the guys coming out. I was standing up, rocking out with the rest of the arena for the whole show. When I called my mom to let her know the show was over, I could hardly talk. I think singing Mudshovel was what ended me that night, but would I do it again? Yes. Did I do it about 5 months later in Greensboro with Mudshovel again? Yes!
It's way too hard to pick a favorite since every time I've seen them has been awesome, but recently I just saw them at the Tsongas Arena, and idk what it was about that show but it was fuckin great! Maybe it was just cuz I hadn't seen them in awhile that made it so unbelievable, idk. Can't wait to see them again though ;)
This tour alone I went to four different shows. But I got to say the best is Aaron's acoustic shows. Really intimate, he jokes around and takes some request, saw that like 6 times. The best was the two shows he did at the House of Blues in Chicago in March of '06.
Aaron's acoustic shows are great I had a meet and greet April of 2007 in Sayerville NJ. It was awsome ...I was right in front of him for over 2 hours. He even played Zoe Jane for me, because when we met before the show I told him it makes me cry and he said "you'll be crying tonight". He was teasing me on the stage by wiping his tears.
I saw him again July 2007 at NOKIA NYC. It was a great show, but not as good has Sayerville.
