Jiffy Lube Live closed out their 2022 concert season Wednesday night with a great lineup of rock featuring Alice in Chains, co-headliner Breaking Benjamin, and support from Bush, and Plush. Things got off to an early start with doors opening at 4:30 and Plush taking to the stage at 5:30, fans did not seem to mind the early start with Bush, Breaking Benjamin, and Alice in Chains all playing headlining sets. By the time, Bush took the stage the pavilion had begun to fill. Bush released their ninth studio album, The Art of Survival on October 7th only one song from the new release made the night’s setlist, that being “More Than Machines.” The rest of the set was filled with classic hits like “Machinehead,” “Everything Zen,” which saw Breaking Benjamin’s Benjamin Burnley join the guys on vocals, “Glycerine,” and closed out with “Comedown.” During “Flowers on a Grave” Gavin took to the crowd as he did a lap around the pavilion getting up, close, and personal with fans. Next up was Breaking Benjamin, who performed a sixteen-song set of hit after hit. The set was filled with plenty of pyro, and the setlist was good covering of the band’s discography. Closing out the night were one of the ninety’s biggest grunge bands, Alice in Chains. The night marked a homecoming of sorts for vocalist William DuVall who was born in D.C. The ten thousand plus in attendance rose to their feet as the guys took the stage launching into their fifteen song set with “Again,” followed by “Check My Brain.” The set covered all the AIC songs that fans have loved over the years with most of the set being from the late vocalist Layne Staley era. The night’s show was the second to last show on the tour which wrapped up on October 8th in Boston, MA.
