In July it was announced that ShineDown would be coming to Blackfoot at the El Rey Event Center. I asked Krystal if she would be interested in going and left it at that. Then I surprised her and gave tickets for us to go on her birthday, Sept 9th.
Along with ShineDown was CAVO, Sick Puppies, and Adelitas Way.
We arrived at the show and both bought a ShineDown t-shirt. Then we went to find a place to stand. The El Rey is standing room only with the stage at one end and the rest open. We were only about 4 rows back and could see great.
The first band was Adelitas Way. I had heard on the radio show Hard Drive with Lou Brutus that they were touring with ShineDown, but nothing was announced so I was not expecting them. They were good and the lead singer Rick DeJesus was not bad to look at either! Their song on the radio is "Invincible" from the self titled album.
Adelitas Way Band members
Rick DeJesus - lead vocals
Chris Iorio - lead guitar
Keith Wallen - rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Derek Johnston - bass guitar
Trevor "Tre" Stafford - drums, percussion
The second band was CAVO. Their song "Champagne" and "Let It Go" have been on the radio for a while. I bought the cd before we went and recommend it.
CAVO Band Members:
Chris Hobbs - guitar, backing vocals
Chad La Roy - drums
Brian Smith - bass, backing vocals
Casey Walker - lead vocals
The third band was Sick Puppies. I had heard a few songs before we went. They are a little harder band not my favorite, but still good. During this band some people behind us started really pushing. When I looked back they were just pushing everyone in a circle and it kept pushing us around so I was hard to enjoy the end of the show. After this Krystal and I decided it would better to get out and go farther back so we good enjoy the show.

Then SHINEDOWN came on. Their show was awesome!! I had seen them once before at the fair, after that I bought their CD at the time. When their new CD came out I couldn't wait and was excited to see live songs from both. We were not disappointed. The whole show was high energy and I knew all the songs that were played.
