Report: Rockers Rise Up In Benefit Concert For Station Victims
February 26, 2008Michael Marotta of BostonHerald.com reports: More than three dozen performers came together [for last night's Phoenix Rising benefit concert] to raise money for the Station Family Fund, which distributes funds to victims and survivors of The Station nightclub fire that claimed 100 lives and severely injured two hundred others five years ago. The fire was caused when pyrotechnics during a GREAT WHITE concert engulfed the West Warwick club.
[Host and TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee] Snider and his motormouth kept things moving during the four-hour concert with short, efficient cheerleading lectures between performances and prerecorded videos of testimonials from Station survivors and affected musicians.
The most rousing performance of the night surprisingly came from '80s Christian rock band STRYPER, joined onstage by BOSTON's Tom Scholz and Gary Pihl.
