Alter Bridge Winter Tour 2016

[Rosenblaetter]

About Katowice, Poland - 16.11.2016

They did not play 'The Last Hero' - they rehearsed it though, as well as 'This Side Of Fate' (sounded GREAT as far as I could hear through the door).
The Spodek arena is circa 10.000 capacity - the stage was placed in a way that limited it to around 6000.
Hard to tell why they chose it like this, it was obvious it won't be sold out. Indeed we do not have many venues that can host 3000-4000 people, and 2000 venue would have been too small. It looked ok yesterday - there were around 3000 people.

They had major technical issues from the beginning, the right main speaker didn't work properly (what's weird, it was fine during soundcheck) and it got worse and worse - they stopped the show in the middle for a few minutes. Threw out 'The Last Hero' probably because of the delay they had.... played a bit of 'Wonderful Life' instead.
The second part of the show was awesome - we've been asking the band to play Open Your Eyes - via social media and personally in Vienna... and they did. Polish audience didn't know how to sing it at a festival in 2011, so we really wanted to sing it right this time.

There was also surprise action for the boys:

I mean, Myles doesn't know how to sing this song either.

It says they played TLH, anyone for confirmation?

[anguyen92]

Well, the guy that edit it in setlist.fm looks to be at the show, so I guess it's probably true. Now we wait for someone from the boards to confirm it and wait for the video.

[AB4Lyfe]

Video, most importantly. I'm just happy they didn't wait so long to play the most epic song from their last album (see: Fortress and AB3).

[jonten99]

I was at the show, the setlist above is correct!
The show kicked major ass!

[Timotheus]

No The Other Side? Bummerr.

[Dolo]

Swedes got TLH and Poles fucking Wonderful Life....

[Ubik]

Of course the fucking camera man looks to Mark during the fast part of Myles' solo

[AB4Lyfe]

Shittttttttttt where the fuck is the video of the whole song?!?!?!

[fix]

So cool they played TLH! This tour is amazing so far, so good they finally play a lot of new songs!

Too bad they skipped The Other Side though...

[The Plotblocker]

YES!! They played The Last Hero Just a shame that TLH songs are now down to only 5.... What happened to Other Side and Crows? They really do need to stop leaning so fucking heavily on Blackbird. Maybe as a fan base we should all just start ragging on that album in the hope they think people are bored of it and move on to newer stuff.
