Sound City Players Take Over Hollywood Blvd

When: March 5, 2013

Venue: Jimmy Kimmel Live, Hollywood Blvd.

Accompanied By: Gabs

Genre: Rock

This was a special event for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Hollywood Blvd was closed down for this show for an estimated 5000 fans.  It was one of those nights that confirmed why living in, near or around Los Angeles, or in Southern California for that matter, is freakin' awesome. Thanks to organizations like 1iota and locally produced shows such as Kimmel, that allow the fans opportunities such as these.  Looking forward to more in the future.

Setlists:

John Fogerty: Travelin Band, Centerfield, Keep on Chooglin', Proud Mary, Fortunate Son

Rick Springfield: The Man That Never Was, Love is Alright Tonight, I've Done Everything for You, The Man That Never Was (performed a 2nd time for TV broadcast), Jessie's Girl

Lee Ving/Alain Johannes: Your Wife is Calling, I Love Livin' in the City, I Don't Care About You, Foreign Policy

Rick Nielsen/Krist Novoselic: Hello There, Stiff Competition, I Want You to Want Me, Surrender
