SoundCheck Live – Take 100!
The 100th Show with Guest Curator: Nuno Bettencourt!
Lucky Strike Live, Hollywood, CA – Wednesday, October 30th, 2024
Recap/Pics: Will
8 years ago…Wednesday, March 16th, 2016 to be precise… Steve Ferlazzo premiered the very first SoundCheck Live at Lucky Strike Live in Hollywood, CA. SCL’s tagline was (and is) “Heard. Felt. Scene.” and promised 3 Acts of some of the most amazing musicians touring the world. Act II usually includes a guest curated set and the whole evening is usually kicked off with a “Local Spotlight” opening act.
The Resident Band of Steve Ferlazzo (Avril Lavigne), Carl Restivo (Tom Morello), Steve Fekete (America), Derek Frank (Daughtry) and Glenn Sobel (Alice Cooper) that walked the red carpet that evening still remains fully intact to this day.
The list of special guests that have showed up over the years since that premier event are nothing less than spectacular including Nancy Wilson (Heart), Sully Erna (Godsmack), Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Johny Depp (Hollywood Vampires), Steve Vai and even Rock N Roll Hall Of Famer, Jackson Browne.
The very first evening was MC’d by comedian Craig Gass and among the guests that performed that night were Sebastian Bach, Orianthi, Doug Aldrich, Brian Tichy and SCL favorite, Nuno Bettencourt.
FAST FORWARD 99 shows later and who better to Guest Curate the big 100, but one of the stars of show 1, Nuno Bettencourt.
What made this evening extra special was that it landed in October at that time of the year when the Monsters, Ghosts and Ghouls are all allowed out of their crypts to walk the Earth. What does that mean?! It means everyone got a little freaky and the setlist more than encapsulated the Spirit of the Spooktacular event.
