The band were a bit outside of their comfort zone on this tour, but they knew it. And it was ok. A few songs into their set, frontman Chris Motionless thanked the crowd for listening to them, and attempting to experience something they may not be too familiar with. But, depsite knowing their different, Motionless also let fans know that at the same time they didn’t really care, as they proceeded to play “Loud (Fuck It)”
“‘Cause, fuck it,” Motionless stated.
Although they were the opening act, the band managed to steamroll through an 11-song setlist that included six tracks from their 2017 outing Graveyard Shift.

Halestorm would perform three other tracks from their latest album – “Black Vultures,” “Do Not Disturb,” and the GRAMMY-Nominated “Uncomfortable.” They sprinkled in other hits such has “Freak Like Me” and the ultra-heavy hit single “I Get Off.“ The set also featured a drum solo from Arejay Hale.

While their musical performance was right on the money, Halestorm’s set also featured stellar production. Lights as brignt as the sun, and a huge LED logo hangning behind Arejay’s drum kit. The band have done well for themselves, with excellent album sales and a GRAMMY Award to boot. Its clear they have invested in their stage show, which is a huge treat for fans (and photographers) and will certainly prove to be worth it for the group in the long run.

On this run, Cooper is serving up both his biggest hits and some deep cuts for his loyal fans. He kicked off the night with his heavy anthem “Feed My Frankenstein.“ From there, he proceeded to play a massive 21-song set.

Other highlights included “Muscle of Love,” “I’m Eighteen,” “Poison,” “Dead Babies,” “Teenage Frankenstein,” and others. While Alice himself is still the main attraction, over the last few years he has surrounded himself with a band comprised of stellar musicians that help make the songs larger than live when performed live. Guitarist Nita Strauss added a guitar solo to the set, showcasing her shred skills.

It is clear that Cooper and his music have stood the test of time. While his live shows may not be quite as shocking as they were back in the day, that doesn’t make them any less epic. His place in rock history is surely cemented, and apparently his story isn’t quite over just yet.
