It’s a rock music fan’s dream: Some of the most famous rock songs of all time, performed by some of rock’s most accomplished veterans. Raiding the Rock Vault proceeds at breakneck speed from the get-go, going all the way from the ’60s to the ’90s, with informational tidbits on each song shown on video monitors (like the true story that inspired “Smoke On the Water,” or how “Stairway to Heaven” was never released as a single).
Guitarists Rowan Robertson (Dio, Bang Tango) and Z Maddox (Bow Wow Wow), bassist Dan Grennes (Melissa Etheridge), vocalists Keith St. John (Montrose, Burning Rain), Georgia Napolitano (Trans Siberian Orchestra) Jimmie Romero (The HellenBacks) and Jason Ebs (Peter Criss), keyboardist Michael T. Ross (Missing Persons) and drummer Blas Elias (Slaughter) mesh seamlessly as they jam their way chronologically through classics like “My Generation,” “Hotel California,” “More Than a Feeling,” “Eye of the Tiger” and “Pour Some Sugar on Me.”
Visually, the show keeps your eyes plenty busy as the vocalists change outfits depending on the era (and performer) they are channeling. In addition, two backup dancers provide plenty of hot moves in various costumes.
