On December 20, 2024, Silvertide took the stage at the Theatre of the Living Arts in Philadelphia to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their album, "Show and Tell". The band was greeted by a sold-out crowd of eager fans who were ready to rock all night long.
The show opened with the classic "California Rain", which set the tone for the evening. The band was on fire from the start, with Walt Lafty's charismatic vocals and Nick Perri's blistering guitar solos. The crowd was singing along to every word and dancing to the beat.
The band continued to play through their greatest hits, including "S.F.C.", "Mary Jayne", "Blue Jeans", and "Devil's Daughter". Each song was met with cheers and applause from the crowd. Lafty was constantly interacting with the fans, jumping off the stage and singing into the crowd. Perri also showed off his showmanship, playing a guitar solo while wearing a boxing outfit in honor of Philly's own Rocky Balboa.
The band also played a cover, including "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" by AC/DC. This cover was well-received by the crowd and showed off the band's versatility.
The show ended with a three-song encore of "Adult Child", "Beware", and "Ain't Comin' Home". The crowd was on their feet for the entire encore, singing along and dancing to the music.
Overall, Silvertide's performance was a huge success. The band was tight and energetic, and they put on a show that will be remembered by fans for years to come. If you are a fan of classic rock, I highly recommend checking out Silvertide.
