The stormy skies were dark & humid. A three day downpour.
Windswept walls of rain pelted the windshields of friends and
fans.
Destination: The Vice Reunion w/ Rob Rock (Ken Young's b-day
bash.)
Live 10/8/2005 at JoAnna's cafe & Banquet Hall 145 main St.

Highways and side streets were filling up with metal warriors.

explosive evening.
Nothing would stop the energy being emitted from this Historic

equipment.
Ken Young tightened up his top quality pro videography
camera's.

The heat was on, The stage was set, RTM Opened the show.
The crowd was hot and ready. True rock warriors alive and
well.
Scene: 11:00pm VICE from out of the past, into the now,
Approaches the stage as if stepping from century to century.
Red lazars danced throughout the large room Year: 2005
magically.
Rob Rock & Vice braved & relit the 80's metal torch for
eternity.
Jimi Bell did the introduction honors and the place went wild.
Vice blasted into Deep Purple's Perfect strangers. The magic
had begun.
The crowd went nuts! Rob Rock in top form, VICE tight to the

Away.
Camera's zoomed in as the crowd danced in the magical rush of
energy.
History was being made, The vibes were serious as the music
flowed.
The soundboard crisp and EQ'd into perfection.
Feet stomped to the intro of Deep Purple's Highway Star.
The crowd grew heavy, Cars outside in and out, parking spaces
loaded folks.
This was 80's metal and nothing could stop the intricate
emotions from growing.
Spectacular if you will.
Vice moved into VICE 85 original
song, Midnight runner.
It was true, it was real, it was VICE the real deal with
vengeance intact.
Rob Rock glowed as he drew the crowd in, Vocals soared
heavenward.
A wash of awesome lighting illuminated and intensified the
spirit, VICE 2005.
The fans twisted, jumped, and threw their metal horns to the
air.
Beers poured, People laughed and boogied all night long to

on.
A major hit, 100% success. Van Halen's "Why can't this be
love",
