Shinedown brought their acoustic 'Anything & Everything' tour to The Grand theater in Wilmington, Delaware on November 22, 2010. The D.C. show was reviewed brilliantly by Cindy Parr, so I won't review the whole show. I will add that opening act The Bear did an amazing 5 song set singing and playing acoustic guitar. Will Hoge and band were very impressive. They completely broke down the barriers between artist and audience by taking their instruments into the aisle on the floor level, performing their final song completely acoustically. Their harmonies and playing sounded great in the beautiful setting. Shinedown brought everybody back on stage for their first encore, a rousing rendition of "With A Little Help From My Friends" which threatened to tear down the house. Another amazing performance by some of the most talented, and nicest bands on the planet.

Rob Zombie capped off the Halloween Hootenany at Columbia, MD's Merriweather Post Pavilion. There is no more fitting October show than the full Zombie experience. Robots, Zombies, Monsters, videos, effects, props, streakers, security, and some of the groovingest rock songs to bang your head to. What a night!

Zakk Wylde and his Black Label Society were special guests of the Halloween Hootenany featuring the Gruesome Twosome - Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie at Columbia, MD's Merriweather Post Pavilion. A second stage was erected on the lawn hill, which made for the most slanted mosh pit ever, resulting in many crown-breaking tumbles.
