Since this is my first post, what better message than to say I am from Kantuck now living outside Atlanta. Still bleed BLUE!
I was blessed to work Security at Phillips Arena in January of 2002 when Creed opened the "Weathered" tour. Stood on the floor at half court in a yellow shirt and got paid to have the experience of a lifetime. I was not a fan until then. Their energy was incredible. They played 19 songs!! Saw the sound check, which was "Bullets". Made enough money that night to go out the next day and buy the three CD's. Life for me only got better after that.
Saw them again in Charlotte that summer. I believe it was maybe the second or third show back after the accident. Scott was really down and mellow. I thought he probably was on some type of pain killers. They still gave it their all and I understood the effort it took to come back from that type of injury. Even though the show didn't reach the magnitude of the first one, in truth, it would be hard to duplicate the energy of that first night. It was my wife's first show, and we Loved It!
Saw them again that August at Riverbend in Cincinnatti. Took my brother (who actually told me about Creed after MOP and is one of the original fans) and his wife. They were on all cylinders that night!! Came very close to the performance on opening night. It was great to be there with my family. My brother still lives in KY. He still talks about that show.
Anyway, thanks for listening.
