The latest in the big name band invasion masterminded by your friends at Hard Rock Live came in the form of The Wallflowers, '• fronted by Bob Dylan's son Jakob. Although they haven't had a monopoly of airtime in recent times, The Wallflowers have not lost their skill for song. The evening's festivities began with the opening band, Blue Meridian, who are based out of Orlando and are just beginning to branch out. Overall .w.M:eridian wasn't very special (with a look that said Live and a sound that screamed The Refreshments), but with some work they could be something good. Playing a decent set that had a few hard rock sounds to it along with some mellow­ er stuff, the crowd at the Hard Rock didn't seem to mind listening and many seemed to really enjoy it. With the ending of Meridian, the crowd began to swarm to the • stage to await the headliners. Many a murmur was h~ard from young and old women alike in anticipation of the Jakob Dylan experience. It didn't take long for the roadies to set up and soon we were all face to face with The Wallflowers. The fust thing that was RADIOHEAD apparent was that the band sounded the same live just as they do on the radio or CD, which is somewhat rare and fairly impressive. This effect was enhanced by a great sound system that let you hear AMNESIAC Dylan's crooning at the bar just as good as it was upstage.
