It's been years since Shinedown last rocked El Paso but it's been 20 years since the first time they did. That show wasn't actually in El Paso though. It was pretty close though ... a short drive west of El Paso at a place that, once upon a time, once a year, became a mecca for families, rockers, partiers, crazy youngsters and mellow older folks. The cops surrounded us in a tight circle and half escorted, have shoved us through the crowd to the backstage gate. Shinedown at Soaring Eagle, 7/11/26 Shinedown broke attendance records at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt.
