Bush – Loaded: The Greatest Hits Tour

On August 29, 2024, The Bush concert at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL, on Thursday night was an electrifying experience, despite the sweltering heat that had everyone drenched in sweat. The atmosphere was intense, with the humid Florida air adding an extra layer of rawness to the night. In addition to Bush, special guests included: Jerry Cantrell, Candlebox and Bones U.K.

Bones U.K.

The evening kicked off with Bones U.K., whose gritty, industrial rock sound set the tone for the night. Their energy was palpable, and they quickly won over the crowd with their fierce performances. The band’s edgy style and powerful stage presence made them an exciting opener.

Candlebox

Next up was Candlebox, who brought a wave of nostalgia with their 90s grunge anthems. Kevin Martin’s vocals were as strong as ever, and the band delivered a set that was both emotionally charged and full of energy. Their performance of classics like “Far Behind” had the crowd singing along, creating a strong connection between the band and the audience.

Jerry Cantrell

Jerry Cantrell followed, delivering a masterclass in rock guitar. As the lead guitarist of Alice in Chains, Cantrell’s solo work retains the dark, brooding elements that fans have come to expect, but with a fresh twist. His set was a blend of newer material and some Alice in Chains favorites, which resonated deeply with the crowd. The haunting melodies and powerful riffs were a highlight of the evening.

Finally, Bush took the stage, and the crowd erupted. Gavin Rossdale’s charismatic presence and the band’s tight performance were nothing short of spectacular. Despite the oppressive heat, the band powered through their set, delivering hit after hit. Songs like “Glycerine” and “Machinehead” had the crowd on their feet, singing along despite the temperature. Rossdale’s energy was infectious, and his interaction with the audience added a personal touch to the performance.
