Summer 2024 Tour and Summer of '99 and Beyond festival

[Shortman45]

Yeah. I thought he sounds pretty good. A lot fitter will help. My Sacrifice was the last song of 16 or something. So not bad.

It makes a big difference on Bullets when he can scream. Looking forward to the tour.

Hopefully we get a few Radio Station stops for some recorded acoustic songs.

[maximzub]

And they aren't playing the songs at a breakneck pace which makes a huge difference.

I assume that Scott is using a click track for Creed as well?

[Finaldecision]

you be the judge on which is better.

Stapp singing Say I in 2024

https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?mi ... 0SVQ0JaWNr

I think he's better now

Whole band sounds better.

[chtimixeur]

They all killed it on Never Die.

But Stapp has sung My Sacrifice far far better since 2017 or so. I've checked some comments here and there (Ultimate Guitar for instance), and I've read some similar comments about his flat voice on that particular song.

[Vaux]

Arrived in Bahamas so I have some data access on my phone now. Everyone here agreeing the concert was awesome. The vibe on the ship is amazing, I have even had others tell me this, seems everyone is having a blast. My sacrifice was the closer, before that was one last breath, higher, wtlf,... standard versions of all the songs, no extended solos or surprises. Brian said they might play inside us all today.

Have seen many band members of all bands around the ship. Rode an elevator with Erock on Thurs after the concert, told him that they rocked and he said "thanks brother" I believe I saw Michael Tremonti a few times, and I have seen Marks son's and wife a bunch of times. We all sang Happy Birthday to Mark during the concert.

Last night they did karaoke, the 3DD dude and Mark were judges. Mark sang My way, and then at the end him and 3dd dude and Eddie Trunk sang Rebel Yell, I got that on video.

Great time so far. Creed plays again tonight at 8.

Found some better versions (I’ll update when I find more):

And just saw a Live Stream that showed they played Pity for a Dime (13 mins), Inside Us All (42 mins) and Rain (48mins)!

That is some of the deeper tracks I was hoping for. Nice.

[MrK2991]

They sound great! So excited to see them in July. Saw them twice during the last reunion. They didn’t sound half as good or seem half as happy to be on stage as they do now. Can’t wait!

[nagpo]

the only song stapp seemed to struggle with was Rain. But that was a great concert.

[Mr. Slash]

Well, Mark seemed to struggle a little bit with his vocal parts in My Own Prison. Seems like this part is a little too low for his range.

[Dolo]

Well, Mark seemed to struggle a little bit with his vocal parts in My Own Prison. Seems like this part is a little too low for his range.

They are tuned to Drop C# now.

[Dolo]

Is there any delay put on the kick drum? Drives me nuts.

My God they sound good!

[Vaux]

Cruise was awesome. Met lots of great people. Saw lots of band members out and about - especially the lead singer of Tonic, saw him pushing around a stroller about 5 times. I will spare the total play by play and just give some newsworthy info -

-Stapp mentioned seeking out John Kurzweg and seeing if they had a copy of the "Grip My Soul" demo they did long ago - him and Mark spoke of how they really enjoyed that song and would maybe be interested in playing or recording it. We will see if that actually happens.

-Spotted Bmarsh at the buffet, said hi and asked him if we are getting new Creed music - he smiled and his response was "it could happen".

-Creed was sounding great. Comparatively with the other bands, the guitar tones were massive. I'm not sure this comes across in the videos I have seen. Don't know if this was just the sound on the ship, but when he switched from the clean tones to the distortion - such as in the beginning of My Sacrifice, those guitars roared. You could even hear me woooo to that effect in my video. All videos taken sitting directly in front of Mark.

-In the Pity For A Dime video, you will see a hand with a phone appear on the right side of the screen, taking pictures, I think that was Mark's wife - I know she was sitting on the other side of the fence next to me for a while, but maybe someone else snuck in and took that picture, not sure.

If anyone has any questions, let me know I will try an answer them for you.

I'm uploading some videos to youtube now - I got everything but Bullets pretty much. Will upload Torn, Rain, Inside Us All (i dont see anyone else got that up) or if someone wants another video up, let me know. I think they turned out pretty damn good for a phone.

Here is Pity For A Dime - all videos from 2nd show

[nagpo]

Grip my soul! dang this is awesome. the band is back and better than...the last time!

[Devil Inside You]

Grip Your Soul!!!! How cool. Mark mentioned that their 2012 record was mostly comprised of a lot of unused ideas from Creed's first run so its no surprise that one would be revisited too

Interview with the guys and I think it's a matter of time before new music is born

[Finaldecision]

Would love to hear Weathered.

Edit: Just saw it‘s online now

[Vaux]

Weathered was only played on the first show, not the second, so I don't have that one. Second show didn't play One, either. I was too busy rocking out to record anything on the first show.

Another interview.
