The Deal: Country rockers rumble through two-hour set.
The Good: If you like country music, enjoy some rock 'n' roll and want to get a mixture of two, Reckless Kelly offered as much as you could handle. The band performed a number of songs of its latest album, Bulletproof, in addition to a cover of The Beatles' "Revolution" that kicked off the encore. About halfway through the set, "Wicked Twisting Road" got the biggest crowd reaction of the night as most finally started singing along to the slower, acoustic song. Those in attendance really got moving for the high-energy "I Still Do" and the band fed off of it for an extended jam in "Loretta." They capped off the night with their country-fried version of "Revolution" before closing with "Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah."
The Bad: Someone attempted to hand the band a round of drinks — it could have probably done without jumping up on stage. The sparse crowd seemed pretty mellow for most of the night.
The Verdict: A rabble-rousing performance that left the crowd satisfied.
