Savor the Sounds: Rolling Stones Tribute Brings Music to the Dinner Table in the Paddock Restaurant at the Palm Beach Kennel Club.

January 10th, 2025

The energy was electric, the music iconic and the night was one to remember as Start Me Up! – A Tribute to The Rolling Stones Dinner Show brought rock ’n roll magic to the Paddock Restaurant at the Palm Beach Kennel Club (PBKC). This concert was a full-on celebration of one of the most legendary bands in history.

From the moment the lights dimmed and the band launched into the opening notes of “Start Me Up,” the audience was transported into the heart of a Stones experience. The Paddock’s intimate setting, complete with tiered seating and stellar acoustics, ensured every guest had a front-row feel for the show. Marc Lichtenfeld commanded the stage as frontman, channeling Mick Jagger with remarkable authenticity. His high-octane performance, dynamic vocals, and charisma definitely brought a good time.

The setlist was a masterclass in rock history, pulling from the Stones’ greatest hits and fan-favorites across a seven-decade career. Classics like “Paint It Black,” “Ruby Tuesday,” and “Sympathy for the Devil” lit up the room, while the early gem “The Last Time” and the recent single “Angry” from the 2023 album Hackney Diamonds proved the timeless appeal of the band’s music. Each song was delivered with passion, keeping the crowd fully engaged and on their feet.

The surprises kept coming, with Tommy Tenneis (aka Keith Richards) taking over lead vocals for a spirited rendition of “Rip This Joint” and Astrid Voxx (aka Lisa Fischer) captivating the audience with her soulful contributions to “Gimme Shelter” and “Honky Tonk Woman.” The band brought raw power to every number, including “It’s Only Rock ’n Roll (But I Like It),” “Sweet Darling, Don’t Leave Me,” “Dyin’ to Meet You,” “Brown Sugar,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” “Beasts of Burden” and the ultimate crowd-pleaser, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”

Beyond the music, the band’s showmanship was unmatched. The eight-member ensemble showcased incredible versatility, seamlessly incorporating tambourines, saxophones, electric keyboards, harmonicas and even a cowbell into their performance. The saxophonists even ventured into the crowd for a cool jam session that brought fans closer to the action.

Also, some of the bands’ flamboyant outfits added a perfect touch of rockstar flair, enhancing the vibrant energy of the night.

Furthermore, the dinner aspect of the evening added a welcomed touch, with a three-course menu featuring options like Prime Rib, Chicken Francese, Pan-Seared Salmon, and Pasta Primavera capped off by a delicious chocolate cake. However, while the food was good, the true star of the evening was the performance itself.

Start Me Up! – A Tribute to The Rolling Stones was a great night out at the PBKC. With Marc Lichtenfeld leading the charge and the band firing on all cylinders, the night was a thrilling reminder of why The Rolling Stones’ music remains timeless.
