I absolutely LOVE Puddle of Mudd. I saw them at the Niagara Falls Seneca Casino around 2008 and they were amazing. Wes occasionally talked to the audience between tunes and he seemed to be having a good time performing as much as we did rockin’ out. Saw them again in 2017 at Batavia Downs Race Track (NY) for their annual summer fest “Rockin’ the Downs”. Again- great show. So I just saw POM for the 3rd time last Friday Aug 20th again at Batavia Downs which is a little over an hour away. Had a great time and was psyched because I had purchased not VIP, but premium seats. They also offered lawn seats for 15$ but if I’m going to see a band, i want to actually see the band and when you are that close to the band the energy is amazing!! Even with premium seats, It was first come first serve, but we were guaranteed seats within the first 5 rows. so we got there early and chose seats in the 3rd row center!! I’ve been a POM fan since 2001. I love the gruff kinda sound of Scantlins voice and the no frills show – just 100% hard Rock-n-Roll. Unfortunately last weeks show wasn’t their best. Just didn’t seem like Wes had his heart into this show like he had the other times ive seen POM. But…in their defense it seemed to me something was wrong with the speakers/sound techs. It was difficult to hear Wes over the instruments but i could tell he was giving his all. But the biggest disappointment of the night was that POM did not come out for an encore. The promoter came on stage while we were screaming, clapping, etc. And were asking if we wanted more POM. Like seriously? Hell yea! Then the promoter was looking toward back of stage, as if she were actually talking to Wes/the band saying ” I think they are gona come back out for one more song” She then again asked ” do u want more Puddle of Mudd people”, and the crowd cheered, whistled and clapped, yelling “PUDDLE OF MUDD, PUDDLE OF MUDD! But no, Puddle of Mudd did not come back out. Major let down. But as i mentioned i don’t believe Wes had his heart into it and the sound techs/speakers sucked. With that said i remain a loyal POM fan and will definitely see them next time they come thru my town or withiin 3 hours of me.
