...Though this show was only his "second live show ever" solo, his years of experience as first the drummer and then the lead singer of Soundgarden have made Cornell a stage veteran. The addition of the highly capable band Eleven as his musicians just magnified the talent present on the stage...
...Because that's just what the concert at the Tweeter Center was: an amazing night of good music. Age be damned, R.E.M. put on an energetic and mind-blowing show. The proof was in the writhing mass of swirling bodies and hoarse voices screaming the lyrics aloud. The band fed right off of this enthusiasm and ended their tour with an incredibly high-kicking, electrically charged show...

Sadly, its infamous second-story bar that was perfect for scoping the floor for hotties is now located on the first floor. But fear not; Avalon is still home to excellent dance music and glamorous patrons. Wear black or the hippest clubbing attire...
