St Charles Show 1/19
This was my first tme seeing Aaron Lewis solo. It was absolutely amazing! He is one of the most talented musicians around today. I was able to stand right up front, about 5 feet away from him. His voice is incredible and he is very down to earth, laid back guy. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see him in such an intimate setting (only 350 people) and, with the exception of a few idiots, the crowd was very considerate. I am still "high" from the show, it was the best 2 hours of music that I have ever heard live and I've been to well over 100 concerts in my time. His new track "Country Boy" was awesome and he sounds even better live than any studio album. I will definitely try to see him again, and highly reccommend to anyone, if you like Staind, you will LOVE aaron Lewis solo......unbelievable!!!

YES, it was an AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!! It suckd that there was no seating, but since the stage was chair height from the floor, it was badass for us few to b able to actually sit on the front of the stage while he played.
15 song set-list, in order
So Far Away
Please
Anywhere But Here (NEW)
Country Boy (NEW, and Aaron also said it'd probably be the 1st single off the solo album, because "Every time I play that song, that's the reaction it gets" with a big ass smile on his face)
Everything Changes
The Truth
Right Here Waiting
Blow Away
Zoe Jane
Believe
Epiffany (ACTUAL SPELLING ON SET-LIST SHEET...HAHAHAHA)
Bong Hits for Breakfast
Tangled Up in You
Outside
It's Been A While
Then, Aaron left the stage, and after a minute of all 350 or so people going nuts, he came back out....
"Thank you! I have 1 more song to play, but you have to be quiet. As quiet as you can be....shhhh"
Aaron grabs his wooden stool, pulls it in front of the mic, puts his left foot on the monitor, and with the guitar unplugged, and no microphone he absolutely amazingly killed "Intro"!!!!!!! WOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!
Then, NO SHIT, he says thank you, and CURTSEY'S like a lady!!!!!! THAT WAS HILARIUS!!!!
I could easily, easily go on with more and more and more details, but I gotta get back to work b4 my boss yells at me!!!!!
What a day, what a night, what a show!!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY!! Great show all around. I am from Mass, and actually grew up in the next town over from Aaron only one year apart. I would love to see him again as I know he plays alot around the area. Thanks for the set list, he did pretty much the same set in St. Charles. By the way, the song "Anywhere but here" is actually an older song that has been around on Youtube for a while. Check out the video, Aaron explains how he wrote the song in a parking lot somewhere while on the road, its a pretty cool story, and an awesome tune, one of my favorites that he does not do live very often. So it was a rare treat to have him play that one for us!! People dont realize what a humble, down to earth guy Aaron is. Not flashy, you would never even know he was a rock star if you met him on the street. Just as normal (or insane in my case) as anyone one of us.....
