Review | 3 Doors Down: N. Charleston Performing Arts Center - Charleston, SC

As I waited with the rest of the packed house at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center on Thursday, I heard the sounds of Led Zeppelin over the house music speakers. While Mississippi rockers 3 Doors Down were no Zep, they sure tried to play like it. On tour in support of their forthcoming self-titled album, 3 Doors Down came right out of the gate with their 2000 hit "Kyrptonite." The crowd was amped, and it really set the mood for the night. Big riffs and killer drumming by Greg Upchurch were the story for most of the night. The band's encore song "When I'm Gone" was perfect, given their strong military fanbase (they even showed a slide show of veterans, soldiers, and American flags as the played). They were heavily in tune with their fans, throwing picks into the crowd and giving high fives at any chance. While the show seemed to be a bit on the short side, these guys gave it their all and the sound in the PAC was phenomenal.
