STP, The Cult, Bush concert review
So I went to the STP, The Cult and Bush show last night.
STP, opened up with new lead singer Jeff Gutt. Was sort of like seeing a really good STP cover band. The band was great however...Jeff Gutt, who can sing and sounds almost identical to the albums with Weiland, messed up the lyrics on one song and the band had to adjust. They played a couple new songs and they were actually pretty good. With as much as the other band mates had to put up with Scott, I hope Jeff Gutt helps them out. Weird though, Gutt is almost a carbon copy of Weiland without the shitty concert performances. I watched some of STP's last acts and it was sad watching Scott perform. Good luck to STP.
The Cult has been around since the early eighties, and are just as relevant as any newer band in the alternative rock genre. Ian has to be what, in his sixties? Still has the chops, and has a full head of long hair. His mic had cut out during the show, and he threw it on the ground in disgust, then the screen behind the band showed the operating system and then went blue for the rest of the show. Ian said Tampa had shitty dirt weed, and the crowd seemed to groan a little. They played several songs that I had never heard before, but played most of their bigger hits. One down point, is the drummer was off on his drum hits a few times. The Cult is still kicking, and worthy of buying a ticket to their show.
Bush, put on a great fucking show. They sounded excellent, and didn't miss a beat. I was actually way more impressed then I expected. I have been to shows where the lead singer comes out into the crowd, but Rossdale, took it a step further and not only went out into the crowd but went all the back into the grass seats, all the way back to the top fence, and just snaked his way throughout the entire seating areas, never missed any vocals and the crowd went nuts. The music was spot on and sounded incredible. There are a few songs they play that have been absolutely beaten to death on the radio, but hearing them live, was a way different experience and very enjoyable. I was moved.
They are on tour.. check it out. I got the tickets for free but beers were $15 LOL.
