“More stars than there are in heaven!” crowed Peter Zaremba, lead singer of the Fleshtones, taking a cue from MGM’s famous slogan of the 1930s and ’40s as he boisterously ex…
There was something at least half-serious in Zaremba’s MGM-invoking statement: ita hell of an intergenerational cast coming together to perform these 32 rock ‘n’ roll chestnuts. Yet, in invoking the golden age of Hollywood celebrity, Zaremba was being a wise guy, too. You’d definitely have to consider yourself part of the rock cognoscenti if you knew most of the “stars” on the bill — or know a plurality of the songs in the set list, for that matter.
The show’s producers also brought in some artists who date back to the “Nuggets” era, even if their own most famous material might’ve been too sugary to include on such a rough-hewn collection — like Ron Dante of Archies fame, who did Michael & the Messengers’ “Romeo & Juliet” , and Evie Sands.
Opening the second half after intermission were seemingly unlikely bedfellows Hoffs and “Weird Al” Yankovic, the latter a swirl of curls as he added accordion power licks to the Mojo Men’s “Sit Down, I Think I Love You,” kicking off the sweeter section of the show before things got dirty again. Hoffs returned sans accordion for the Strangeloves’ “I Want Candy,” probably more familiar to the under-65 portion of the audience through its ’80s Bow Wow Wow cover.
The show was also occasion for a couple of reunions that may have touched a sweet spot in certain segments of the audience: Carla Olson and Kathy Valentine, who shared the original late ’70s lineup of the Textones before Valentine made her way over to the Go-Go’s, reteamed for “You’re Gonna Miss Me,” from what Kaye called “the craziest of all the bands on ‘Nuggets,’ the 13th Floor Elevators”… and he didn’t mean crazy like a fox.
