In the embrace of the San Bernardino Mountains, a venue soaked in history welcomed the revival of Staind’s soul-stirring melodies. The Yaamava Casino Theater in Highland, CA, resonated with the promise of a night steeped in haunting verses and gritty guitar riffs that defined Staind’s journey through the late ’90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While less active as a collective in recent years, Staind, led by the enigmatic Aaron Lewis, unfurled their melancholic anthems on Saturday, September 17th. The crowd, a tide of Gen-Xers numbering around 2,400, navigated the labyrinth of Interstate 210 traffic to rediscover the magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lineup, anchored by the enduring presence of lead guitarist Mike Mushok and the rhythmic prowess of bassist Johnny April, showcased an enduring stability. Drummer Sal Giancarelli, a recent addition at 11 years, pounded out rhythms in a war-dance style, sending echoes through the expansive hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 14-song setlist unfolded like a tapestry of Staind’s musical evolution, featuring classics like “Eyes Wide Open,” “So Far Away,” and “Right Here.” Mushok, his body bent over the guitar, alternated between gritty riffs and soul-stirring leads, while Lewis, in peak vocal form, delicately navigated the verses and unleashed a raw, growling intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the main set reached its zenith, Staind returned for a two-song encore, leaving the audience immersed in nostalgia. Lewis, known for his outspoken political views, adopted a different tone for the evening. Clad in a shirt declaring “NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT” and a cap that bluntly stated “F#CK NEWSOM,” he addressed the audience with a subtle nod to his wardrobe, steering the focus back to the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the only political statement of the night slipped into the song “Intro,” where Lewis modified a line to emphasize diversity of opinion. The crowd responded with a mix of cheers, reflecting the complex tapestry of perspectives in the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst the political undercurrent, the music reclaimed the spotlight as the crowd engaged in a collective anthem during “It’s Been A While.” The evening’s finale, “Mudshovel,” with its loping bass line and moaning guitar riff, sealed the performance. Mushok’s guitar reverberated, leaving a sonic imprint as Staind exited the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hour and forty-minute journey through Staind’s discography left the audience visibly satisfied, a testament to the band’s enduring resonance. As the current tour wraps up in Oklahoma on September 24th, it marks a fleeting opportunity for those inclined to catch a piece of the past, wrapped in the gritty, unapologetic sound of Staind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
