So Wednesday 7/30 I went to see Alter Bridge and Sevendust at the Webster Theater in Hartford, CT. Alter Bridge is one of my favorite bands and this is my 5th time seeing them and every time they are amazing. To me there is no better live band than Dream Theater, but Alter Bridge is a close second.

On 7/18 they headlined a show with Staind at the New England Dodge Music Center in Hartford, CT. They played 17 songs and you knew every one of them but 2 or 3 of the new ones if you don't have the newest cd, hits from beginning to end basically.They opened with a train sound effect and the place went nuts.
