Shinedown Live! | Greensboro Coliseum

Shinedown performed at the Greensboro Coliseum on 5/3/22 with special guests
The Pretty Reckless and Diamante.

Diamante took the stage first and definitely got the crowd warmed up. They didn't waste any time while they were on stage. From the first song to the last, they kept the music going. Although Diamante only had a 7 song setlist, it was amazing. Especially her cover of Iris, originally by the Goo Goo Dolls. She had everyone in the coliseum pull out their phones and light the place up. It was a site to see!

The Pretty Reckless took the stage after Diamante. They kept the momentum going. It was the first show in 5 years that they have played. And you wouldn't even notice it! They crushed it on stage! Taylor Momsen has an amazing voice and stage presence. Ben Phillips, Mark Damon, and Jamie Perkins played epicly! Their setlist included songs from the very beginning to newer songs. They opened with their cover of Soundgardens Love Loud, which was amazing. Then a bunch of fan favorites from Death By Rock and Roll, Going to Hell, and finished with Take Me Down. I personally cannot wait to see them live again!

After the two bands rocked the faces off of Greensboro, the anticipation for Shinedown was on another level. They finished everyone off with their amazing 19 song set! From the opener The Saints of Violence and Innuendo to the final song, Diamond Eyes and the encore which included 4 songs Wheels, a Foo Fighters cover on which Zach was on vocals, to Call Me, Simple Man, and Sound of Madness, Shinedown did not let up. The crowd sang along with every song. The people that showed up to the Greensboro Coliseum left pumped up, sweaty, and happy! Every band showed up and gave their all. WHAT A NIGHT!!!!

If you haven't seen any of these bands live...I highly suggest you do!
