Alter Bridge Winter Tour 2016

Oh no, Mark is using this ugly axe...

Not a fan of the explorer shape I take it? I really like that one personally.

Really wanna see YWBR footage

Me too dude, me too!

Writing on the Wall sounds so good.

[mikeyd23]

Writing on the Wall does sound good. Listening to videos of these new songs has reminded me how shaky Mark still is at times when singing harmony. He has developed leaps and bounds as a lead singer obviously, but still struggles to hear his harmonies it seems.

Mark doesn't use in-ear monitors though right? That will make hearing yourself on a loud stage like that very difficult.

[mikeyd23]

As far as I know, Mark is still the only guy that doesn't use in-ears. Those huge wedges he keeps on stage right in front of him should enable him to hear himself just fine though. I think they still use side-fill speakers on either side of the stage too.

In about 24 hours I'll be seeing them live! Woo!

For the life of me I just can't understand Ghosts of Days Gone By and Waters Rising still being in the set. Two of the weakest songs in AB's catalogue full of great songs! SO ANNOYING!

[Mr. Slash]

Amazing live song. If this song gets more popular I think it would do a fantastic job at finishing their sets.

Omg. Myles sounds like a beginner during the intro.

I have the same with Before Tomorrow Comes, but I like Waters Rising. It's all about crowd response I guess...

[Mr. Slash]

So it is Myles who does that complex bridge riff, interesting to see.

I am surprised by the amount of lead guitar parts Myles has on the album. Looks to me like he has more solos than Mark.

For me Waters Rising puts AB's concerts to another level, it's one of the few songs I would never drop. It is just sth. very special that the lead guitarist can sing a song and the singer changes. AB's concerts are about the dynamics imo, the very hard songs, the uplifting ones (e.g. Rise Today, My Champion...), the epics (Blackbird, CoA), the acoustic performance in between and so on. To have Mark sing a song is just a moment where everybody goes "Yeeeeeaaaaaaah, how cool is that!" and furthermore Waters Rising shows the harmony of this band so well.
So I think it is a great decision to still play Waters Rising (...and I also love this song, but that is only a matter of taste, of course)

And I am also not a big fan of Ghosts but it is considered to be a fan favorite, so it is obvious how hard it must be for a band to choose which songs they should play, because opinions differ so hard.

For me it's Before Tomorrow that could be replaced easily, I only love Marks backing vocals in this song, the rest is just mediocre for me and by far one of their worst songs.

Mark still has more for sure.

[Blackbird]

Yeah, they really should drop Before Tomorrow Comes. They're still playing six Blackbird songs, only 2 from ABIII and only 3 or 4 from Fortress. That's crazy. There are so many amazing songs on these two albums that could easily replace BTC.

[AllC392Was]

So there isn't a full length version of Crows on a wire, The other side, or You will be remembered? thats surprising. Usually those are up quickly

[Blackbird]

Damnit, no updates on the Munich setlist yet? What's wrong with my fellow countrymen?

[anguyen92]

^^ Uhhhh, setlist.fm got that wrong. The Munich show is not until December 10th. Next show is in Belgium, tomorrow. They were suppose to do a show in Paris, France, in between the show in Barcelona and the show in Belgium, but it got cancelled for undisclosed reasons.

[Blackbird]

Didn't even check setlist.fm, but some guys here talked about the 8th - thanks for the update xD

[AHart96]

[Timotheus]

I liked the beginning.. Definitely better than the studio version.

Tonight would be a very appropriate moment to start playing This Side of Fate! Please?

[The Plotblocker]

Nice, thanks for sharing So happy that it is the full band on this one and not another acoustic moment. Gotta say that it is refreshing to hear Myles not talking off lines so much, so far anyway.
