Puddle of Mudd’s latest tour hit the valley on Saturday, November 17 at the Marquee Theater, featuring, Cinder Road, Deepfield and of course, Puddle of Mudd. Although the venue was less than half-full, the artist provided an entertaining performance.
The opening act, Cinder Road, had a great sound and very fun to watch. They provided an almost theatrical experience with excellent stage presence, which really got the crowd going. Deepfield, the second act, featured amazing music but a little less entertaining. They just weren’t able to capture the crowd in the same manner that Cinder Road.
Finally, Puddle of Mudd hit the stage and the crowd became ecstatic. They kicked off the set with, “Control”. The group pleased the crowd by playing their more of their old favorites such as ‘Blurry” and even ended the set with “She Hates Me” as well as tracks from their latest release, “Famous”. They played with an abundance of energy and sounded as if this was one of their first concerts on their tour even though they have been on tour for eight months. They eagerly interacted with the audience, involving them in the performance.
Puddle of Mudd really seemed to play and sing their hearts out on stage, even though Wes Scantlin, lead vocals, informed the crowd that his voice was a little under the weather from the constant touring, but the crowd couldn’t tell. Their vocals were great, and they played extremely well. The only thing is that I felt that they looked a little worn down; although that is understandable with their touring schedule. By the end of the night, they played all the crowds favorite songs and even covered a song by Nirvana, keeping them jumping up and down the whole time. I enjoyed Puddle of Mudd’s music; it was worth the wait.
