Adelitas Way, Chevelle and Three Days Grace show review




The Minneapolis music scene is always a combination of Local and National bands rolling through. No matter the genre of music, there’s always someone touring through the country and stopping in our artistic city. Some differ on what shows are the best, which bands sound amazing and also which have the most intriguing stage presence of them all. With all the venues in the Twin Cities areas, one is visited by some amazing talent every so often. Tuesday was no difference in this case. Coming to town was Three Days Grace, Chevelle and Adelitas Way. Of course, all of these gifted bands have been here before, but not together on a tour like this one.


Most concerts, the same type of actions happen. Most fans don’t show up to the show until the second band hits the stage, but not this time. Adelitas Way kicks off the concert with grace and hard edged sounds. People are instantly gravitating towards the stage and packing themselves together. Each member is electrifying to watch, each grabbing the attention of each fan in the crowd. Their sound is crisp, the stage energy is through the roof and the concert starts off as a huge success. There’s a lot to be said for a band that can do this with some major headliners after them. Adelitas Way does it in style. Playing songs like “Invincible,” “Dirty Little Thing,” “My Derailment,” and so many more, we get a strong taste of what this band from Las Vegas has to offer. Welcome to the Twin Cities boys, you will always be welcomed here! Get ready for some more show requests here.

Next up is a very well known favorite, Chevelle. They hit the stage harder and louder each time you see them. They rock the stage with hit favorites along with fan favorites from every album. Crowd suffers galore, the temperature heats up and so do the guys of Chevelle. The crowd interaction is astonishing and I’m able to capture it through a lens. With each song, Chevelle once again prevails as why they’re one of the best bands to see live. With strobe lights and smoky effects, they will definitely stand out in people’s memories for years to come. As always, the band performs superbly and is left with no question that they have hardcore fans here.

Last but not least, Three Days Grace walks on stage. I have seen them many times and each time is better than the last. Always starting the show off with a bang, pyros set the theme for the remainder of the evening. Graving us with our favorite songs like “I Hate Everything About You,” “Home,” “Just Like You,” “Last to Know,” “Break” and several more, you’re brought back to memories throughout your life. Each note is hit with precision, each beat is felt through the bass and drums, each chorus is sung aloud by everyone in the crowd. It leads you to one conclusion; Three Days Grace is as strong as ever and will continue to get bigger. Time will tell when they are back in town, but we will be patiently waiting until then.
