 EVOLUTION OF ROCK: 1951-1991  

 

The 12th Uptown Music Collective Major Performance was a rousing success. The Evolution of Rock: 1951-1991 failed to break the target of a 1000 people through the door but it succeeded in every other way. It was a commanding performance by a great group of young performers who put on an entertaining and at times, an awe inspiring show.

 
More video clips, a slide show and audience comments will be posted soon. In the meantime check out this video and others posted on youtube by some of the performers for an idea of how great the show was. This video features only a few of the many highlights. Hope you enjoy it.
