Derringer,
the iconic 70's rock band, has hit the road with its original line up and
played a two night stand at the intimate confines of the Bear's Den at
The Seneca-Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls, NY as a warm up for an extensive
upcoming tour. The second night performance on April 23rd found the band
(Rick Derringer, Kenny Aaronson, Danny Johnson and Vinnie Appice) in fine
form as they played a host of material from their classic albums during
the ninety minute set including the tracks "Let Me In", "Sitting by the
Pool", and "One Eyed Jack". They tore thru the Rick Derringer penned classic
"Still Alive and Well" made famous by Johnny Winter and still a staple
of bar bands every where. Naturally they played Rick Derringer's most notable
contribution to rock n roll with his solo hit "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo"
which closed the set and The McCoy's classic "Hang on Sloopy" for their
encore. The Seneca-Niagara casino has a number of great upcoming shows.
