Coming out to open the night in full force was the Canadian rockers Finger Eleven, who took the stage with a high-energy set that got the fans pumped up for the night ahead. It was clear from the start that Finger Eleven was having a great time, as lead singer Scott Anderson smiled the entire set. Even guitarist Rick Jackett spun and flipped his guitar in an aerobic performance that would make U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds jealous. To finish the set off, the band performed a special version of the smash hit “Paralyzer” by blending Genesis’s “That’s All” with AC/DC’s “Back in Black.”
