They kicked off their set on a fun note with “Tubthumping” and they continued with Third Eye Blind’s “Semi-Charmed Life,” which featured controlled vocals from Phil and Bianca. Equally fun were Bianca’s interpretation of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” where she invited a few audience members to sing with her towards the end.
Phil threw some Goo Goo Dolls in the mix with “Slide,” where it is safe to say that he was born to sing this type of music. After asking the audience if they were still awake, he got them to sing along with him on Oasis’ “Wonderwall.”
Bianca brought some angst in their set with Alanis’ “You Oughta Know” and she took the country route with Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman.” Phil had a great deal of fun performing three Blink-182 songs back to back to back, which included “What’s My Age Again?” “All The Small Things” and “Dammit.”
Phil excelled on Lit’s “My Own Worst Enemy,” which was a crowd favorite, and he made a lot of Long Islanders proud by covering the Nine Days classic “Absolutely (Story of a Girl).”
Their entire set was jam packed with favorites including “Santeria,” No Doubt’s “Spiderwebs” and even Britney Spears’ “One More Time.” Also, where else can one hear the nostalgic Friends theme song “I’ll Be There For You” other than Mulcahy’s on a Friday night?
The Verdict
Overall, this may have been one of The 90’s Band’s best live concerts to date. Their energy level was incredible, and Phil and Bianca sounded top-notch. Luke and Bobby rocked their musical instruments: drums and bass respectively. The 90’s Band really took their fans on a trip down memory lane to simpler times in the 90’s decade. Their show earned two thumbs up. Well done guys.
