Mike Rimeo's Benefit Show with Dead Men Dreaming & No More Tears Sept. 18, 09

The music never stops in New York City. Most nights have more shows then some Midwest city's have in one week. This was the case on the 18Th. After ZZ Top at the Beacon one had to jet over to the Gramercy to make it in time for Dead Men Dreaming and No More Tears. This concert was not only a kick ass Rock show but also a Benefit for Mike Romeo, may he rest in peace. This meant that most of NYC rock aficionados where in the crowed, and the bands played sets that made all of us stand up and take notice. As Dead Men Dreaming took the stage and you could see why people talk so highly of them. They played mostly covers and some originals for this special night on Lexington Ave. Busting out The Who, Pink Floyd and Metallica this band made it look easy. Mike Triana is an impressive front man in this classic five piece rock formation. You should get out to see them in front of Type O Negative at the Nokia on October 22. Then out comes No More Tears, New York's ultimate Sabbath cover band. If you have not seen these guys get off your ass because the play all the time. They take the art of being a tribute band to the ninth degree. All-in-all a great night for Rock and Roll, with more night's like it to come this fall.
