Legendary Rockers Foghat and Starship showed why legends never fadeaway, rocking the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.
Last night, the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts was transformed into a vibrant rock haven for an unforgettable odyssey. The evening showcased two iconic rock powerhouses: the legendary Starship, helmed by the incomparable Mickey Thomas, and the indomitable Foghat.
Starship took to the stage with electrifying energy, serving up their timeless anthems and a thrilling surprise that had the audience buzzing with excitement. MTV Co-Founder Les Garland, the iconic voice behind their 1985 hit ‘We Built This City,’ made a special guest appearance, adding a nostalgic flair with his signature radio DJ voice-over. Garland’s presence was a rare treat that complemented the band’s set perfectly, which included classic hits and deep cuts from their Jefferson Airplane era like ‘Go Ask Alice‘ and ‘Somebody to Love.’ The crowd reveled in the nostalgia, their cheers and applause resonating through the theater as they danced and grooved to each turn of the band’s set.
Meanwhile, Foghat brought their renowned Southern Rock flair, thrilling fans with both their classic grooves and fresh material from their latest album, ‘Sonic Mojo‘. The band’s new track, ‘Drivin’ On,’ perfectly captured the essence of their traditional jams, and the performance was a high-octane celebration that kept the audience on their feet all night. Foghat’s set was a testament to their enduring appeal, with fans enthusiastically dancing and swaying to the familiar riffs and new jams alike.
As the night unfolded, the air was filled with the sounds of pure rock magic. The audience embraced every moment, with many dancing and grooving to the classic hits and the latest tracks, making for a night of pure, unfiltered joy.
In a humorous nod to the past, someone in the audience during intermission joked that while certain herbs used to be the recreational highlight of the 1960s, tonight, they were more likely used for glaucoma relief. The playful remark drew laughter, perfectly capturing the spirit of the evening.
From the polished rock anthems of Starship to the gritty blues-rock of Foghat, the concert celebrated the rich legacy and enduring power of these legendary bands. With Mickey Thomas’s powerhouse vocals leading Starship and Foghat’s signature sound rocking the stage, the concert was a rock enthusiast’s dream come true. It was an extraordinary night of music, nostalgia, and pure rock magic that left everyone with memories to treasure.
