So, there is no business listing for Crazy Girls alone, therefore my review will encompass both Crazy Girls (which at the time of this writing I have only seen a single time) and the gigs I attended here for Pat DiNizio, of The Smithereens fame.
*Crazy Girls
In its present version is really disappointing. Bland is the nicest description I can conjure for it. The ladies have little-to-no energy and the numbers seem like they can use some sprucing up. (As if they never changed the choreography from CG was first conceived)(As in the 1988)

*Pat DiNizio
For a minute period in time (minutes) my friend. Anyone that came to his show, Confessions of a Rock Star, became his friend. He would genuinely shake your hand and sincerely converse with you as if you were old friends.

I wish I would have gone to more shows but I took Confessions for granted, assuming that I would have so many other opportunities to hear it due to the Riviera CEO's impassioned support of the concept, and the Best of .
