Let me just tell you how excited I am about the Orange Peel http://www.theorangepeel.net/ booking so many amazing bands these days. It's a great venue but unfortunately it had never really booked much of my kind of music until the last few years. It's so freaking awesome to not have to drive 3 hours for every show that I want to see.
Of course if you know anything about me I try to go to some shows more then once if I have the money and really enjoy the bands. I myself have actually seen 311 including this show a total of 9 times and they never get old. the fan base this band has is amazing. for the first time they decided to do a 311 cruise. Of course I didn't have the money 2 go to this but on the way they played Asheville, NC out of the few shows they set up along the way. This was good news for me of course. first thing when i found out they would be playing I had 2 buy my tickets in advance of course you knew this show would sale out and that it did.
They had a band open up for them called The Movement http://themovementvibe.com/. I personally have never heard of them but wow. they put on a great show. they where out talking to the people and hanging out at the end of the night. They where so nice talking about how lucky they where to be on the show and much music meant to them.
311 http://www.311.com/ always puts on an amazing set. The energy they put into there music. Not to mention all the classic songs they still play every time they do a show. (see SET LIST below)
1. Jackpot*
BASS SOLO
15. Beautiful Disaster
16. Tribute
*- With extended intro
**- Nick used a Gibson ES-135 that he acquired earlier in the day
*** - All in all it was such an amazing night. I never get tired of seeing them. Being able to see a band like that in the type of venue the Orange Peel is makes it that much more worth it. I feel that when you go to any show in a smaller to medium venue when it's standing area. It really gives you the chance as a fan to be wear ever you want to be and take it to a more intimate level. I look forward to the future The Orange Peel will bring to the Asheville area. This makes me such a happy music lover...... I will still keep driving all around to enjoy the bands I love and help them as a band with my full support.
