Fargodome, 1800 University Drive N, Fargo
Still one of the best acts. Four or five retro styles, flawlessly executed. Maybe the best cover band ever, and that’s a compliment. More than their share of creative stress and disagreement, a quality of the best bands -- 12 members in a 20-year career, never able to keep a drummer for long. Lots of hits to sing along with.
