The Official Omnivore blurb. . .
It takes a lot of time, money, and dedication, to restore anything of
historical importance. And the Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs, California
was just the type of venue that required these three key ingredients.
Opened to the public for the first time in 1936, this classic Art Deco
building was the site of many grand events over the past 100 years.
And so it was on November 11, 2022, spearheaded by Brian Ray (Sir Paul
McCartney’s guitar gunslinger for the past 20+ years), a gala fundraiser
was held to restore one of Palm Springs' most treasured landmarks, the
historic Plaza Theatre.
Ray and his co-musical director Spike Edney (Queen, Clapton, Elton,
Aretha) put together an all-star band to back the four headliners for
the evening's show. And what headliners they were: Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame Inductee Alice Cooper; Paul Rodgers (highly acclaimed lead singer
of Bad Company and Free); legendary modern rock artist and Palm Springs
native Joshua Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures) and
Australian guitar goddess Orianthi (Michael Jackson, Richie Sambora).
The backing band behind these legends in addition to Ray and Edney
included Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses), Eric Singer (KISS, Black Sabbath),
John Button (Shakira, The Who, Sheryl Crow) and the guitarist's
guitarist, Pete Thorn. Their musicianship inspired Alice Cooper to say
after his set, "what a band... best band in the land right there!"
What made this evening truly memorable were not only the stellar
versions of the artists' classic hits ("School's Out," "I'm Eighteen,"
"Can't Get Enough," "All Right Now," and "I Sat By The Ocean") but
completely unique covers each member of the band contributed... hear
Joshua Homme's spot-on take of Bowie's "Let's Dance," Paul Rodgers
singing Sam & Dave's infectious "I Thank You," Alice Cooper's triumphant
cover of The Who's "My Generation," and Orianthi and Brian Ray's playful
version of the Sonny & Cher duet "I Got You Babe" and more!!
So sit back and go back to 2022 when rock legends walked the earth,
"turned it up to eleven" and a memorable night of fun and music went
into a worthy cause to Rock The Plaza!
Ripper's Notes:

The full title is: "Rock The Plaza Concert To Save The Historic Plaza
Theatre In Palm Springs"
