Tuesday night, Shinedown continued their ATTENTION ATTENTION Tour with a stop in Madison, WI at the gorgeous new venue in town, The Sylvee. The Sylvee, a venue with a maximum capacity of 2500, is the perfect place to see such a famous band perform. This show, which was also sponsored by the local rock radio station in Madison, 94.1 WJJO, sold out extremely fast.
With doors set to open at 7 pm and the show to begin at 830 pm, fans gathered a block away in both directions from the venue. Having seen many shows already at The Sylvee, I can honestly say that this is the most full I have seen it. While waiting for the show to begin, there were rumors that this show would have an intimate feel to it. Thinking to myself, "well, of course, Shinedown is playing such a small scale venue compared to their typical arena shows, this show will be intimate.".
Unfortunately, when the band hit the stage a little later than expected, it was brought to the audiences attention by vocalist Brent Smith that bassist Eric Bass wouldn't be able to play due to a recent back injury. At the performance the night before, Eric had herniated six discs in his back. Brent later went to say that instead of just canceling the show, they would do something special, a "once in a lifetime" Shinedown experience.
Drummer Barry Kerch was seated stage right on a stool in a stunning sparkling red suit while guitarist Zach Myers showed us his skill on an acoustic guitar. Per usual, Shinedown sounded terrific. Throughout their performance, many songs that aren't often heard were played. In between songs, everyone would take small breaks to chat with the crowd and crack jokes at each other. Though not everyone in the audience was pleased with the unfortunate news of Eric's back, Shinedown did an incredible job scrambling on the fly to make this show happen, and it was indeed a once in a lifetime experience.
The band recently announced on their official Facebook page that guitarist Josh Sturm would be filling in for Eric while he recovers. Shinedown has a ton of tour dates scheduled in the US and Canada through October. If able, be sure to check out one of the Shinedown shows near you. You won't be disappointed. From all of us on the Inside The Setlist team, we wish Eric a speedy and healthy recovery!
