Little did anyone realize back in 1978 that The Radiators would still be together, still hugely popular and still producing quality music with no signs of slowing down.

by NJJamBand1 on 6/6/11Best Buy Theater - New YorkThe Radiators really played well this past Friday at the Best Buy theater in NYC. Its something about NYC that the Radiators just love. You can feel the energy when they get into a jam! When they broke into a smooth melody singing "On Broadway" the crowd went nuts. They also stole the show at the Crawfish Fest in NJ on Saturday! They were jamming with Tad Benoute and three other Trombone players! Incredible!!! We will miss those guys!

by vogtct1 on 6/6/11Best Buy Theater - New YorkFirst time at the best buy theatre. Loved the venue, will try to see another show there. The Radiators show was amazing and bittersweet at the same time. Wish they could have played all night.

Rating: 5 out of 5 The Last Getaway for The Rads
by PartyMarty1005 on 6/6/11Best Buy Theater - New YorkIt is sad to say but even more terrible to write that this will be the last review of a concert by The Radiators, a New Orleans based rock/funk/soul/blues band that has been doing this crazy thing for 30+ years. It has been an amazing ride for me as I am sure it was for them. Never cracked the arena rock plateau but all the better for its rabid fan base. Seeing them in venues such as Irving Plaza, The Bayou in Mt. Vernon and the various festivals they have played thru the years in the Northeast has made it ever sweeter yet now bittersweet. As always, I enjoyed the show at The Best Buy Theater with a smile on my face throughout the whole show. Highlights include "Suck The Head", "River Run", "If Your Heart Aint In It", and their most popular tune, "Like Dreamers Do". They even broke into a small portion of "On Broadway" which sent the crowd in a tizzy, being that they were on Broadway! The journey has ended, at least for this iteration, as I cannot believe that Ed Volker, Dave Malone, Camille Baudoin, Reggie Scanlan and Frank Bua will never return in one form or another. All I can say is Let The Red Wine Flow and thanks for the good times! Peace

by Sarasotoan on 4/12/11Jannus Live - St PetersburgThe concert was great! I saw the Radiators in Connecticut about 23 years ago. I was amazed that they kept rocking for 2 hours straight! Hope you'll keep playing :)
Rating: 5 out of 5 Radiators rocked, but No Money Down blew us away!
by Lippie on 4/12/11Jannus Live - St PetersburgWhat an awesome surprise! The Jannus is a fantastic, New Orleans-y courtyard in the heart of downtown St. Pete. We arrived early and were absolutely blown away by the first band, No Money Down, who set our standards sky high for the rest of the night. It turns out that although The Radiators are a stellar, legendary group with lots of energy and great musicianship, the No Money Down Band was loaded with personality, charisma and talent. Loved the overall vibe, the friendly and funky atmosphere and the extraordinary music. The sound was clear and well mixed. We'll be back!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Rads in St. Pete
by BuryTheMeatStick on 4/12/11Jannus Live - St PetersburgCan't beat a free Rads show at one of the best venus in the area. Camile was on fire and tore it up. Too boot Trombone Shorty and Tab Benoit were playing just down the street in Vinoy Park for the Tampa Bay Blues Fest. It was a New Orleans music weekend in St. Pete. Thanks to whoever made the free show possible.

by FarkDan on 4/12/11Jannus Live - St PetersburgAfter 20 years of seeing the Rads they are embarking on their farewell tour. It was a great show with a sweet-sadness knowing that it was my last one.

by chi2 on 4/11/11Revolution Live - Ft Lauderdalethey rocked, and rocked and rocked, as if they knew it was last so fla show and they just kept on playing, they did a 2 set show w/ 4 song encore. it was bittersweet tho. i wanted to be there but i didn't want to be there. cause i knew if i was there it was indeed their last show. they really seemed to be having a great time on stage playing off the crowd of mostly younger folks, not the usual for this band. I was glad to see that tho, means more and more young folks getting into live music and jambands.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Radiators-old dudes can rock
by eio8 on 3/20/11Paradise Rock Club - BostonGuitarist looks like a combination of Donald Rumsfeld and Terry Bradshaw, between him and the bassist looks like a Dockers commercial 25th anniversary reunion (and lets not even discuss the keyboardist who looks like he's ready to board the little yellow bus), which is what makes it so surprising when they rock the friggin' house with more testosterone than a grumpy silverback. I hope they rethink the farewell angle and I loved the "sympathy for the devil" encore, made the Stones version sound like it was done by a bunch of old men.

by Bicman on 2/15/11Bluebird Theater - DenverThis was the best show I have seen in years. I have seen the Radiators at Tipitians, NO Jazz Fest and other venues but this was the best. Great viewing from the floor level of the Bluebird! Sweeeeet Show. Sorry to hear this is the last time I will get to see the Rads! Fish head music will live forever.........
