Review:

    ROCK JUBILEE! show fourty! The RUBY JUBY! Tonight's show was another ROCK themed show, where Matt and the guests did an entire evening of Rock n' Roll cover songs through the ages... working their way through the 70s, 80s, and 90s they covered some very important bands, as well as some of their favourites! Between the awesome performances, the interesting song choices, the great crowd, and the amazing host Ms Trish Trash, tonight's show was a real hit!
    Starting with AEROSMITH Matt performed an intense solo version of DREAM ON to kick the show off! This was followed by a fun upbeat solo performance of DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY!
    Trish Trash introduced the next band choice THE DOORS which was performed by the cover band 'crystal shit' which included Devon on the guitar, Matt on the organ, and the lovely Tara Taylor singing. She performed CRYSTAL SHIP, PEOPLE ARE STRANGE and the hilight a huge 60s organ jam out for ROADHOUSE BLUES!
    GREEN DAY was the next featured band and Matt did a solo performance of BURNOUT, Devon did a lovely solo TIME OF YOUR LIFE, and BASKET CASE was performed by Matt & Christopher.
    QUEEN was next and Matt did a gorgeous solo version of WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, and then matt and chris did a medley of queen tunes! The first set ended with Matt performing a snippit of Heart's BARRACUDA on the guitar, and White Snake's HERE I GO AGAIN solo on the piano!
    Set two was wonderful with 90s covers, Beatles Tunes, and David Bowie - finishing the set with SPACE ODDITY, the encore tonight featured BRAD PEDWELL! Matt n' Brad performed a spirited STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, then an old original (with a new twist) - RESTITUTION, to finish the show off!
