SCS42 - The Hooters in Glenside PA, Oct 2025
from Progressive Palaver · host Progressive Palaver
SCS42 – The Hooters in Glenside PA, Oct 2025 Rarely does a concert fulfill decades of anticipation, but Ken's long-awaited bucket list experience seeing the Hooters at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, Pennsylvania did exactly that, and it delivered in every possible way. Ken joins Joe and Paul to break down a performance that closed out the Hooters' European tour with a genuine homecoming celebration. Legendary Philadelphia DJ Pierre Robert introduced the band, setting the tone for a night that included fan favorites like "Dancing on the Edge" and **"Boys Will Be Boys."** The horn section alone was remarkable, adding serious depth to the sound. What makes the Hooters so compelling after all these years? The core lineup of Eric Bazilian, Rob Hyman, David Uossikinen Fran Smith Jr., and John Lilly brought the kind of tight ensemble work that rivals Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. (The reggae influences were apparently a highlight too.) Guitarist Tommy Williams handled multiple instruments throughout the night, keeping things fresh across both sets. Because this performance meant so much to Ken personally, his enthusiasm is genuinely infectious. Tune in to hear the full conversation.
