November 16th presented Parisian headbangers with a veritable Sophie's choice: Skid Row and Winger were playing in a small venue on the outskirts of town, Opeth and Voivod were playing the prestigious Trianon and Zeal and Ardor were also in town. But the Dôme de Paris - Palais des Sports was the place to be.
Alter Bridge are touring behind yet another killer record Pawns & Kings and they brought Mammoth WVH and Halestorm with them, making this date one of the unmissable hard rock shows of the year.
Armed with not one but two guitar heroes (Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy), Alter Bridge played a set that spanned its entire 20-year career to the delight of the fans in attendance who seemed to know every word their heavy yet melodic anthems.
A fantastic show by a band that has now become a classic of its genre.
