PHOTOS: Heart Rocks New Lenox in Triple Play Concert Series

The second leg of the 2012 Triple Play Concert Series brought a sold out audience to New Lenox on a gorgeous summer evening. If you took photos of your own, share them on Patch!

When residents headed toward the Village Commons for the Heart concert on Friday, July 20, they were greeted with mid-70 degree weather for the first time in a while. It was hard not to find a person enjoying themselves at the second part of the 2012 Triple Play Concert Series. First, Hit Parade took the stage by playing many covers of hard rock songs from the 1970's and 80's.  Next, Naperville native and ex-American Idol contestant Gina Glocksen took the stage around 7:15 p.m. Glocksen paused a few times during her act to say how 'cool' it was to be performing at the Village Commons. "Dreams do come true," she said of the opportunity to open for Heart. Heart appeared a few minutes earlier than its 9 p.m. scheduled start. The hard rock …

I am in the opening act hit parade, and we did not have our own sound person Manning the board. I would have to guess that the onstage volume was too loud so it makes it more difficult for a soundprtson to get a good mix.   more ›

Yawn! I just couldn't get excited about Night Ranger. Styx and Heart should be way better. I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad, but would really like to see some better bands or maybe a mix of more current bands. Night Ranger was big in the 80's, Heart and Styx in the 70's.   more ›

PHOTOS: Night Ranger, Ides of March Rock New Lenox

The Triple Play Concert Series opened with a beautiful evening and great music. If you have photos from the show, share them on Patch!

The New Lenox Village Commons was rocking Saturday as Night Ranger and Ides of March opened the 2012 Triple Play Concert Series. Peace Museum was the first band to go on, playing some great classic rock songs that included American Girl by Tom Petty and Carry on My Wayward Son by Kansas, as well as some good originals. Ides of March, led by .38 Special and Survivor frontman Jim Peterik, was the second band, and Peterik might have stolen the show (look for video in the next day or two). During a 15-minute version of Eye of the Tiger, Peterik ran through the crowd with his guitar, danced with fans, stopped to take photos and at one point appeared to do a semi-somersault.  Finally, the headlining band came on and delivered. Night Ranger kept …
