It was one of the more memorable nights on the Las Vegas music scene as the city’s most notable musical talents gathered at the Hard Rock Cafe on a balmy Saturday night.
Billed as the 25h Anniversary Celebration of the Hard Rock Cafe on Paradise and Harmon, the night began with a star studded red carpet filled with local and national musical legends, reality show stars, and other celebrities.
The five hour extravaganza kicked off with a blistering set from Scot Coogan’s Led Zeppelin tribute band Six Foot Nurse; following that was a serious jam session anchored by Brent Muscat (Faster Pussycat and LA Guns), Keith Robert (Dee Snider Band), Coogan, Rob Cournoyer and Jeff Tortora (Tinnitus and Blue Man Group).
Various musicians graced the stage throughout the night with stand out songs including “House of Pain” with Siana King on
vocals and blistering lead guitar work courtesy of Stoney Curtis (Stoney Curtis Band and Count’s 77); “Billion Dollar Babies” with Jeff Young; “Creep” and “Another Thing Coming” featuring Tortora on vocals.
The crowd was whipped into a bigger frenzy as 80s legend Dale Bozzio performed several of her Missing Persons hits, sounding as fantastic as she did during the dawn of the music video age.
The evening was capped off by a rocking, high energy performance by Phil Lewis of LA guns who was joined on stage with former band mate Tracii Guns to the delight of everyone in the audience.
After nearly six hours of straight up music and celebration, it can’t be denied that Las Vegas has the best music community in the country.
