The Reagan Years
Tour - 80's Cover
Venue - Tally Ho | 02/06/2016
Attendance - Myself | Lisa Brown
 
If you grew up when I did, the 80's, you will remember so much great music and a great time to growing up. This is what the Reagan Years is supposed to recapture.
Not as good a show as I was anticipating. They actually murdered some of the best covers from the 80’s. Lets put it this way, on the way home I so wanted to shuffle all the songs they played just to hear how they were supposed to be done. I don’t know if they were having an “off Night” or what. The show was sold out and the crowd seemed pumped. I wouldn’t drive this distance again to see them. I would give them one more chance closer to home however. My wife was turned off by the lead singer’s flaunting of chest, muscles and thrusting. I don’t know if that's his show for the show, but whatever. Supposedly this band has played together for over 20 years. I don’t know if its just me or I am super finicky, but they didn't sound like they played that long together, I expected a bit more.

Crack the Sky
Tour - The Beauty of Nothing
Venue - Rams Head On Stage | 01/17/2016
Attendance - Myself | Rob Lang | Victor Jerrell

Another great night with Crack the Sky. My first time at Rams Head On Stage. A lot smaller than I viewed it in my mind. All seated event. John Palumbo looked slightly better than Friday night at Club 66.
The band seemed to enjoy playing this venue.
Same show as Club 66.
Band photo ops after the show. Another great Crack the Sky show.

Crack the Sky
Tour - The Beauty of Nothing
Venue - Club 66 | 01/15/2016
Attendance - Myself | Rob Lang

As always, a fun time at Maryland's premier concert venue, Club 66
Crack the Sky returns with the return of John Palumbo.
Let me start off by saying that John didn't look well or strong at all. By evening end he was sitting down while he played.
Evening started with Rob coming over, we headed out for a relaxing evening with dinner before the show. We hit the Taco Love grill in White Marsh for delicious fresh Mexican cuisine. I don't know if Rob was more impressed with the meal or the fact that we could bring our own drinks in. Delicious fare. After dinner, off to the show. Its raining by now and we are slightly behind schedule, not a big deal. We arrive to Club 66 a little after 7:00 pm.

There was an opening band. Crack the Sky hits the stage, and the show is on. A good setlist and the treat of the evening comes at the end of the evening. Surf City with a David Bowie Medley in the middle: Rebel Rebel | Jean Genie | Fame | Suffragette City.

A great evening, but the best comes last. Photo ops with the band, the entire band minus John Palumbo
