Bayfest weekend is upon us once again and I was even more
excited than I have been in a while. AFI and Chester Bennington were both
making appearances this year and to me, that is one of the best lineups I could
ask for.
The first band of the night for me was Pop Evil.
I have seen them so many times in the last two years and I
hope I get to see them more.
They played
Flawed
Hero
100 in a 55
Behind Closed Doors
Divide
Monster You Made
Boss's Daughter
Last Man Standing
Goodbye My Friend
Sick Sense
Torn To Pieces
Deal With The Devil
Trenches
During their set, I had an opportunity to meet Stone Temple
Pilots with Chester Bennington. Chester 's other
band, Linkin Park
This was the first out of two times I would see AFI that
week, and it was their first time in Alabama .
I was too excited.
They played
The Leaving Song Pt. II
Girl's Not Grey
I Hope You Suffer
Synesthesia
Medicate
Love Like Winter
Beautiful Thieves
17 Crimes
Heart Stops

Then it was time for Stone Temple Pilots with Chester
Bennington.
They were amazing and Chester
absolutely rocked.
They played
Sex Type Thing
Sin (First Time with Chester )
Vasoline

And with that performance, the first day of the festival was
over. Onward to Day two!
Day two did not last very long, but it was still fun.
My first band of the day was All That Remains.
I saw them last year in Atlanta and they were wonderful.
They played
Now Let Them Tremble
For We Are Many
Stand Up
The Air That I Breathe
Some of the People, All of the Time

not write power ballads. Then they gave the finger to society about how more
bands should take risks.)
Asking Too Much
Six
The Last Time
This Darkened Heart
Hold On
This Calling
Two Weeks
Following them, I ran to a different stage to see Joan Jett.
I was supposed to see Joan Jett in 2006, but her set was
rained out thus causing me to miss three other bands. I was happy I finally got
to see her.
She played
Bad Reputation
Cherry Bomb (The Runaways)
Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Gary Glitter Cover)
TMI
You Drive Me Wild (The Runaways)
Fragile
Love Is Pain

Crimson & Clover (Tommy James & The Shondells Cover)
I Hate Myself For Loving You
Real Wild Child (Wild One) (Johnny O'Keefe & The Dee
Jays Cover)
Childhood was finally fulfilled and it was wonderful.
The last band of my Bayfest weekend was Jane's Addiction. I
have wanted to see them since I was young. I have fond memories of my mother
and I driving around listening to Been Caught Stealing.
Let's just say, Jane's Addiction was one clown short of the
circus.
Perry Farrell is one of those people who comes off as weird,
but I would not be surprised if he was a freaking genius.
In addition to the weird stage antics, they played their
album Nothing's Wrong in it's entirety with some additional
They played
Up the Beach
Ocean Size
Had a Dad
Ted, Just Admit It...
Standing in the Shower... Thinking
Summertime Rolls
Mountain Song
Idiots Rule
Jane Says
Pigs in Zen
Encore:
Been Caught Stealing
Just Because
Whores
Stop! (There were flying women on harnesses)
The crowd screamed the entire end of Stop! that says
"Give Go. Gimmie that, get back down automobile. You turn off that
smokestack. Get That goddamn radio. Hmm along with me along with TV" and
it was awesome.
Perry Farrell made several weird comments, some I am not
comfortable talking about in this post, but he said Roll Tide even though we
lost to Ole Miss and he ended the show saying he loved everyone that loves him.
What a way to end my yearly Bayfest run on a weird note.
Roll Tide, Mr. Farrell. Roll Tide.
