ALICE IN CHAINS' personal road dog Baldy has checked in with the following live review from Oakland:

"Wow. I've seen a lot of things at shows over the years, but tonight in Oakland marked another first.

I was filming out into the crowd from behind Sean when I saw a little girl sitting on her dad's shoulders right down in front. She couldn’t have been more than four years old at the most, as cute and innocent looking as a girl could be, grinning and waving at Jerry.

Then she started singing along to 'Them Bones'. And then she threw the horns. And she kept it up too. This kid must have downed a few juice boxes before the show, because she had some stamina.

Normally I don't use the word adorable to describe anything at an Alice In Chains show, but this kid put a smile on my face nearly as big as hers.

I started imagining story time at pre-school the next day.

While the other kids are eating paste and talking about Teletubbies, this little girl is gonna whip out a story of how she nearly got swept up in a mosh during 'Check My Brain'. I don't know where you cast your vote for Father Of The Year, but her dad has mine."
