This was Awesome!! I was transported to my youth. Great music, great crowd and a beautiful night! Got a lot of bang for my buck!!
Excellent show, beautiful location, The band members signed Tee shirts and spent time with the crowd. I would strongly recommend you adding them to your list of bands of the past to your list
The show was excellent! Met Tommy Heath ( Tommy Tutone) after show. He was very nice. The Romantics were great as was Marshall Crenshaw. However, the Smithereens were tremendous. Love Pat, Jim and the gang. Don't miss them.
There were four bands listed on the bill, and the first two (Tommy Tutone, Marshall Crenshaw) were over in under half an hour. The Smithereens stole the show with an excellent set, but it clocked in at 35 minutes. We then got a less than excellent set from the Romantics, also short (maybe 40 minutes). In all cases it seemed just as things were getting going, the set was over.
Each group, Tommy Tutone, Marshall Crenshaw, the Smithereens and the Romantics was musically tight. The Romantics had all the energy and musical skills they did during the '80's. Fun, fun, fun!
tommy tu tone was good for his one hit wonder but ther smithereens was absolutely awesome well worth the concert go romantics
Had a great time. worth the money to get VIP tickets and meet the band.
Good show, good music! Good to hear the music I grew up with. The bands sounded good and the performance was great.
The Romantics rocked Reno Saturday 05/21/11 in a concert which featured their signiture tunes "What I Like About You", "Talking In Your Sleep", and "One In a Million", as well as at least one, titled "Midnight to Six", from their most recent album 61/49. The Romantikcs more than satisfied those who remember them from the 1980's, and impressed younger ones in the crowd. The band is tight and demonstrates great muscianship. Band members Coz Canler and Mike Skill both play amazing lead guitar riffs. One of the founding members, Rich Cole, has returned to the group to add his higher vocal range to the harmonies, allowing the group to play more melodic songs from their first three albums. Brad Elviis, the drummer, is quite the showman, and will remind you of Keith Moon of the Who and Ringo of the Beatles with his energetic playing. Lead singer Wally Palmar is one of the great rock & roll harmonica players, and continues to deliver strong vocals on all of their memorable hits. If you have a chance to catch one of their concerts, do so. They are professionals in every sense of the word, and work hard to deliver a concert you will long remember.
I saw this show at a casino, and the small venue was just about perfect for these guys. Although we are all a lot older now, I felt like I was back in college, and these guys can still bring it. They did all the old favorites and some deep tracks, as well as brought out some newer stuff.
