Jackson Dean West Hollywood Concert reviews
Shinedown madness
Badflower, the top bill of the opening acts, sounded amazing. Their frontman is awesome. The opening bands, as usual, got better as the evening progressed. Jackson Dean exploded onto the stage with such an energy and ferocity that it was almost more than the human senses could process; complete with flames shooting to the stars and explosions that I'm sure, rocked the heavens. None of the warm up bands however prepared us for what was yet to come. Their connection to the audience was one unlike any I've ever experienced at a concert both during the wide opened crazy moments as well as the slower and more somber moments. It was a non-stop build up of energy that culminated in orchestrated madness. Having been to many concerts in my fifty years, this show easily snagged a spot in my top three picks along with Kiss and Guns n Roses. Yes, they truly "created the Sound of Madness". I will definitely see them again in the future.
