The West Herr Riviera welcomed Extreme and special guest Living Colour Wednesday night. Unusually, with such a great two-band bill it was not a full house but the exuberance of the crowd more than made up for those not there. Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt made note that this was on of the best receptive crowds so far on the tour. Continue reading

Kingdom Come Still Getting It On At Buffalo Iron Works

Kingdom Come

Most people who attended the Monsters of Rock Festival back in 1988 out at then Rich Stadium would surely remember Kingdom Come. They were the first band to hit the stage that hot summer day. The hoses were going full force trying to cool down the crowd and the lineup really was a who’s who in rock at the time.

It was another celebration as the Jubilee Tour touched down at the Blossom Music Center Tuesday evening. Stone Temple Pilots, Live and Soul Asylum led the charge for a pavilion crowd of over 4,000 fans. These bands were at the forefront of leading the music scene in the early to mid 1990s. It was good to see a tour package of this magnitude. Sure had these guys toured together in 1995 they would have been playing stadiums. To still see them play a shed tour is still pretty significant in this modern day era of music. Continue reading
