CRACK THE SKY never disappoints. This was an all acoustic show and from my perspective everyone in attendance loved it. I’ve been a fan since the mid seventies and will continue to see them as long as they play. Their fan base is the best and the shows have turned into social events for my wife and I. We have met so many great people along the way most of whom we consider our friends.
Heard Surf City and their first album on NYE 1976....loved everything about it, but they broke up soon after and never came around to venues near me. Lost touch with them for a while but always wanted to see them. Did not Disappoint!!! Fantastic show, the strings were an elegant and innovative touch, and the band was absolutely killer. Loved the bass and keyboard players; and Rick was a force---love seeing 70-something dudes rip like they were still 25 :-) You could tell John was a tad slow, but he is still their heart and soul. Love the fact that they continue to write excellent music. I got my wish---it was a great night. Really love the Soundstage as it remains a venue that caters to both world renown and local talent. Will continue to see shows there!
The best band you’ve never seen! Why they weren’t nationally and internationally famous, I’ll never understand. Crack the Sky has been playing since the 1970s. They still play like they did back in the day - incredibly tight and it’s clear they love what they’re doing. They don’t play that often anymore so if you get a chance to see them, do not pass it up!
Fantastic show, as usual! You're never let down with a Crack The Sky show!
I haven't seen them since the 70's, saw at the last minute they were playing in Buffalo. They put on a fantastic show for over 2 hours. The band was having a great time on stage performing to a packed house. Hope they make it up to western NY soon!!
They played for 2 1/2 hours then did an encore! After the show they came out to meet and talk to everyone and signed things for everybody.They were awesome to talk to and very talented musicians.
They still got it. My GF, who never likes anyone that she doesn't know any songs from, thought they were really good. What a show, we would go see them again for sure!
It was a great venue for the band and they didn't disappoint the packed house. Can't wait till the next time they are back in town.
What a great show! A lot of the early stuff, mixed with some of their newer songs. The band is as tight as ever. Acoustics at the Tralf were excellent; hopefully they'll venture to western New York again soon.
Excellent Venue. All seats were great, including ours. Crack the Sky put on an impressive show. 2hrs & 12 minutes of non-stop Rock n' Roll! Played from a variety of their catalog. Top notch new arrangements and a medly of songs in between their hits. Sold out Crowd of enthusiastic fans. Took me back to H.S. Tickets on the phone. Great parking for only $10.00. Excellent Food & Service!
CRACK THE SKY never disappoints. Energetic show and the Queen was an excellent venue. Crack The Sky has a loyal following and everyone who attended this show added to the energy of this performance.
Crack the Sky, always a great show! Played all their classics, as well as, lesser known music.
I have been a Crack The Sky fan since the seventies. I have attended more of their shows then I can count and this was one of the most enjoyable ever. I even think the band enjoyed themselves. Great band, a must see. I look forward to their future shows
Great show great venue sound was great crack the sky put on another great show I’ve seen them so many times from painters mill to recher theatre and hammerjacks this show felt like they were performing for me personally
It was everything is was 'cracked' up to be!! This band still knows how to rock!! Had an awesome time, the venue was great, and the string quartet was a wonderful addition....
Crack the Sky is a great live band that has been around since the mid-'70s. They are more popular in Baltimore than any other city. If you are unfamiliar, get their first four studio albums and you will see. This was a special all-acoustic show backed by four very young string musicians. It was nice to hear the old familiar songs (mostly from the aforementioned albums) done in acoustic fashion, and the strings added a little class to the show. The only song that sounded drastically different was "Surf City," which was slowed down and had a lounge lizard feel to it. I was seated near the center of the audience (maybe closer to the stage than dead center) and the sound mix was not so good. Dave's bass and the string section were hard to hear, and the guitars were ear-piercingly tinny. The venue was OK. I was glad there was food available. But I was upset that free water was not. The bartender would not give me a cup of tap water, saying I had to buy bottled. There were no water fountains either. I filled a cup in the bathroom because I refuse to pay for water. My other complaint is that many of the audience members insisted on talking loudly during the show. I know it's rock and roll and people are having a good time. But I came there (and PAID!) to HEAR the band, not your commentary. If and when I talk to my wife during a show, I do so quietly in her ear so only she can hear me. I wish more people did that.
Amazing what they could do with some acoustic guitars and a string quartet. Played every thing I would want to hear.
I have seen this band numerous times in the past 3 years. This has to be the best show yet. New tunes were great! Looking forward to seeing them again.
The entire time was outstanding. The seats,the crowd, the music and the way the show was set up. Loved Crack the Sky, this vet was healed. Thank you.
We had a great time at the show. The music was great!
