The TLA on South Street in Philadelphia was just rocked by the Toadies 20th anniversary of the Rubberneck album. The show was a great example of how Vaden Todd Lewis and his crew can still bring the energy expected from a post-grunge band formed in the 90’s.

The crowd was understandably older than what you would expect to see at a rock show, but their excitement to see The Toadies former debut album played live was apparent. For most of the people that attended the show the Toadies are known as a band that put out a major single during their college years; but this didn’t stop these 40-something year old fans from forming a pit and slugging it out to songs such as Backslider, I Come From The Water, and Possum Kingdom.

The Toadies performed songs off the featured album, Hell Below/Stars Above, and No Deliverance. They also did a cover by Blondie and showcased a few tracks never before released from their early years. The show delivered everything expected from a Toadies concert and the performance seemed to be enjoyed by everyone who attended. The only disappointment was the absence of Plane Crash, otherwise the set list was perfect.
