Alice In Chains
Blackdiamondskye Tour
Special Guests: Deftones and Mastodon
Monday September 20, 2010
Mohegan Sun Arena – Uncasville, CT
About The Tour:
On April 29, 2010 the Blackdiamondskye Tour was announced after a series of videos were posted on YouTube followed by a countdown to the announcement. The bands involved – Alice In Chains with special guests Deftones and Mastodon – called the tour Blackdiamondskye after each of the band’s most then-most recent albums: Alice In Chains “Black Gives Way to Blue,” Deftones’ “Diamond Eyes,” and Mostodon’s “Crack the Skye.” The Alice In Chains album “Black Gives Way To Blue” was the band’s first studio album to feature new vocalist William Duvall.
The 19-city North American tour kicked off in Chicago on September 16, 2010 and wrapped up in Nevada exactly a month later. The fourth show into the tour was at Mohegan Sun Arena. Below is the setlist from that show.

Last week the Milford Oyster Festival’s Board of Directors made the very difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Oyster Festival due to COVID-19. The festival was scheduled for Saturday, August 15th.
Jay Pinto, President of the Milford Oyster Festival, stated the following in a press release: “The safety of our dedicated festival goers, vendors, sponsors, volunteers and surrounding community always has been, and will remain our primary concern. Having closely monitored the progress of Federal, State and local guidelines and after much discussion and hope that the Festival could be possible, we know this is the right decision as we all do our part to stop this disruptive virus.”
Though we’re all sad this year’s festival isn’t happening, we can look forward to next year’s festival on Saturday August 21, 2021. We can also reflect on past Oyster Festivals, like the memorable time we had with Eddie Money in 2018.
Eddie Money
with John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band
Special Guest: Mark C. Daniel & The Free Radicals
Saturday August 18, 2018
Milford Oyster Festival’s Fowler Field – Milford, Connecticut
About The Show:
On May 10, 2018 it was announced on 99.1 PLR’s Chaz and AJ In The Morning that Eddie Money will headline the 2018 Milford Oyster Festival with John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band. It marked first time in the 44 year history of the Milford Oyster Festival that there would be two headliners on the main stage.
Prior to the show, Eddie Money told Chaz and AJ in a radio interview, “I can’t wait to get to Connecticut and play all the hits!”
And that he did.
Over 50,000 people attended the 2018 Milford Oyster Festival on what was a beautiful day. But the weather wasn’t the only thing that helped attract such a huge crowd. Eddie Money was in town.
Sadly, Eddie would pass away a little over a year later on September 13, 2019 from esophageal cancer. But the memories of his performance and all the great songs in his legendary career will live on forever.

An Acoustic Evening featuring Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes
Brothers of a Feather Tour 2020
Wednesday February 19, 2020
Brighton Music Hall – Allston, MA
About The Tour:
Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson announced a string of acoustic shows ahead of their Black Crowes reunion tour, which was originally scheduled to happen in the summer 2020 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, “Shake Your Money Maker.”
Together the siblings went as “Brothers of a Feather” and played a brief one-month tour in small iconic clubs.
After a pair of performances in London and Amsterdam, respectively, Chris and Rich headed to the United States to kick off the North American portion of the tour. The first gig in the states was held at Brighton Music Hall, located just outside of Boston. The crowd of 500 or so, which included celebrities like Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band and invited guests, enjoyed a 13-song, 90-minute set that featured Black Crowes classics and a Little Feat cover to close the show.
Below is the setlist from the Brothers of a Feather performance at Brighton Music Hall on February 19, 2020.
