Creed tour comes to a close

According to a source Aaron will continue shooting his portions of Dream Season: Celebrity this weekend that will air at some point in 2010. It's bound to be a awesome show, the way they talk about it reminds me of being up north in Michigan again. More updates will happen over the fall, but they will most likely be old goodies from past and previous tours until new current information becomes available. Here are some excellent things from this tour to check out.

Some Creed, Some Stimulate This!

With only a handful of dates left for the Creed tour, Staind are about to have a much needed and well deserved break. Then come January Aaron will be doing solo shows again and blowing the roof off every venue so if you have the opportunity to go, definitely take it. Here are some updates of what's been going on during the Creed tour, as well as a couple goodies from the previous tour.

A couple articles about the tour can be read here, here, and here.

Radio stations gave some meet and greet and soundcheck chances to some lucky winners, click here to check out what Buzz did and here for what The Blaze did. Also, more Staind in New Orleans. Be prepared for when Staind rock the Planet Birthday Bash, Click here for details and visit their website for up to minute details the night of the show.

During the Stimulate This! tour, Aaron showed off his archery skills for some soldiers as posted before but the video was yet to be released. From the Pentagon Channel, check it out here and enjoy.

Finally, for any acoustic guitar players out there, Aaron is an endorsee of SIT Strings and recommends them above any else, click here to check out his quote and an article about the endorsement. Even though this is from 2008, I think many may have overlooked his recommendation.

Bittersweet evening

Have a couple more updates from the tour thus far and a little bit from my experience at the AZ show last night. Since it was such a packed area the buses were out of sight, I did however win a meet and greet with Staind and Creed through Jobing.com arena. After meeting Creed it came to my disappointment only find out Staind canceled theirs so I didn't get to speak with them. Their set was electrifying as they always are, but I kinda felt like at this show it was just another day at the office for Aaron. He repeated what he said the first show of this tour and really seemed distant from people except for playing Outside sitting right at the end of the walkway stage. I did hang a little bit with Lo-Pro after and they are a great group of guys. Having already been a fan before it only cemented my liking for them upon the meeting. Aaron treats these guys right and they really deserve a bigger following. Anyway on to the updates......

The Creed and Staind concert at Woodlands recently will be released on DVD this November. Click here and for details. Click here for some photos from the show.

Sideline Pros has some excellent shots of their performance in Dallas. Check them out. A review of the show can be read here as well.

Finally, before playing the Jobing.com arena in Glendale, Mike and Aaron treated radio contest winners (I came so close) to an acoustic performance in their studio and talked a bit with the DJs on air including family life, touring, the Catch a Dream Foundation, and Aaron's appearance on the Outdoor channel in 2010. Click here for photos.

Only a handful of dates left for this Creed tour, then it's break time and Aaron will be blazing solo again in the beginning of 2010. Check staind.com and other sites for dates and keep your eyes and ears open for when Aaron's outdoor show airs. 2010 should turn out to be another great year.

Creed tour

The Creed tour is about to start and unfortunately Staind isn't the headliner but it's good having them on another tour before their break. After wards though in December and January Aaron will be doing some solo dates once again and so far one date has been confirmed but rest assured more will follow. Also, today is a day we celebrate the lives of those that still with us and remember those who aren't. They will be missed but never forgotten.

Here is some stuff from the previous tour to enjoy and if you're seeing them with Creed have an excellent time.
