Cool video. The lead singer of Disturbed and Gavin Degraw were at the show last night as well.

According to a post on Twitter, so was Dennis Rodman...

"Annoyed by this club. @EDDIEKLIVE was supposed to go on an hour ago but instead Dennis Rodman keeps getting on stage being an idiot."

A review by the above person is below:

Overall, terrible venue, but there was SOME positive, so let's start there.

Sound system was amazing. I saw Ed Kowalczyk there tonight (former lead singer of LIVE, solo now, & still my favorite) and he was phenomenal. So they got Eddie K to play there, that's rad.

But ugh, the crowd. Yes, there were some die hard LIVE/ Eddie K fans, and that was awesome, but the tables reserved for Miami d'bags w/ money who like to pretend they're famous--ugh, I can't stand that crap. And Dennis Rodman? Why was he even there and why was he so drunk and how is he even relevant anymore? Why am I even still talking about him?

The bartenders sucked. I waited 10 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge my existence; when he finally asked me what I wanted, he told me to give him a minute because he was hungover from new years. Um what? Another 5 minutes went by, I had to flag him down, then he called me "baby" (NOT acceptable) and made the hangover excuse again before finally getting me a drink. My friend that I was with had a similar experience with another bartender.

The bathroom screamed TRYING TOO HARD. Chalkboard walls are a really cool concept...when they're ACTUALLY chalkboards and people can ACTUALLY write on them. These were fake w/ childlike fake chalk drawings on them. I know they're fake because I tried to erase them.

What else? It was FREEZING in there. Do we really need the AC on full blast when it's in the 60s out? I think not. Oh and Eddie didn't go on until more than an hour after the advertised time (I choose to blame the venue, not him, he can do no wrong in my eyes).

Two stars instead of just one for having good sound and my favorite singer-songwriter EVER. But unless they get Ed Kowalczyk in there again, I am done with Ricochet.
