First of all, let me say, he's probably one of the best live vocalists I've ever heard in concert. His pitch was for the most part perfect. He stayed in key on every song. Awesome. The only downside, he tried way too hard to get the audience engaged. He didn't need to do that. He didn't need the screaming. He didn't need the muscle pumping. It ain't wrestling. His vocal ability is more than enough to stand on it's own. It seemed like he didn't get that.

Tonight is Foreigner. If you're not old enough to know how amazing their music was, that's too bad for you. They are MEGA GENIUS when it comes to rock and roll music. I am so excited I can't stand it!!!

I know alot of folks don't like Eric's music but we have seen him live 3 times and he's been amazing each time!

I don't like EC but I'd go to his show for all the throngs of hot Southern women there.

Foreigner absolutely killed it. Sound should've been louder but these guys still rock!

Would have went to Riverbend had it not been the same weekend as Bonnaroo.

I just checked the Bonnaroo lineup. That may be the most stacked, all genres accounted for music fest ever.

Is the first week or two of June always a good time for these? I went to the Detroit Hoedown here this past weekend, so there's that, Bonnaroo, Riverbend, and the whopping CMA Music Fest all in a span of 10 or so days. Great for fans.

Seen Church 10 times so I'm partial. If you don't want to be fired up that's fine, but don't knock him for trying to fire other people up. What's there "to get" is my question? Are you saying he should know he can sing well and just stick to that or are you seriously trying to compare what he does to Stone Cole coming off the turnbuckle?

I was just giving my opinion. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

You do realize that they are basically a cover band now don't you? They had one original member in Mick Jones, and last I heard, he isn't even with them now. I wouldn't pay money to basically see a cover band but your mileage may vary.

To each his own. Although to be fair, you should've seen them in their prime with their original lineup or with 5 of their 6 original members after Gagliardi left.

Lou Gramm >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kelly Hansen.

Maybe Mick can prop up cardboard cutouts to see if he can make some money.

I've heard rumors that there could be as many as 120,000 people in attendance tomorrow night. I figured there would be a huge crowd because of Lauren Alaina and fireworks night, but...wow.
