They started their set with "Playing in the Band" and continued with a mix of classics like "Touch of Grey" and "Shakedown Street" as well as some lesser-known gems like "Here Comes Sunshine" and "You Never Can Tell."
Creamery Station’s keyboardist, Jon Truelson, joined in for "Not Fade Away," adding an extra layer of sound to the already impressive performance and Bearly Dead closed their set with a high-energy rendition of "Silvio."
