Candlebox

The gang waited in a boring silence for the singer to come back on stage. By way of the hazy smoke and an excited crowd, we might see him, sporting a pink, crushed velvet go well with. We went wild. He confirmed a big smile, stuffed with white glistening tooth and black-lined eyes that twinkled below the intense stage lights. The lead singer of Sponge and his band started the present with their newest tune, “It’s raining.” He sang sturdy and entertained us. Leaping off of the stage into the gang. we hoped that he would come our method. “I touched his toe” one fan exclaimed, who was additionally one of many fortunate ones to take part within the present. They sang a tune made up by the band, “I’m a giant lady, you’re a giant lady, yeah, yeah, yeah.” The group completed, and left us pumped and impatient for the following act.

After what appeared like eternally, Kevin Martin and the remainder of Candlebox strutted onto the stage.

They started what can be an unimaginable present. Hits from their second album, “Lucy,” started the present. They continued with “You,” “Fake” and, “No Senses.” With a pause, they commemorated a fan killed in an accident on the way in which to their present final yr in Portland, and Shannon Hoon, the lead singer of Blind Melon, who died a yr after. For them, they sang, “Far Behind.”

“Thank-you, thank-you.” Kevin replied to his followers after which left the stage, main us to imagine the present was over. My coronary heart dropped with sudden happiness once I noticed the group reappear. Additional commemorating “Blind Melon,” Candlebox sang, “Galaxi.” Kevin commented how the band had good music, however sadly, no singer to sing it. Now the present was over. I used to be silent till I reached the automobile once I lastly spoke once more. My first phrases have been “Wow!” My good friend and I each agreed the present was successful. Others agreed it was significantly better than that they had anticipated.

I used to be fortunate to see an amazing present, and to be so shut I might truly see Kevin’s sweat and Sponge’s eye make-up. I hope Candlebox can be round once more quickly! .
