Inside Charity Case
Uptown Charlotte’s Trade and Tryon intersection may never recover from possibly the biggest event ever held there. For the second year in a row, Charity Case was honored to headline the Continental Tire Bowl Pep Rally Wednesday, December 29th.
The boys got to play on the big stage, complete with four television cameras, a production crew and flat screens projecting their image to the audience for super quality footage that may make its way into a future Charity Case project.
Although the stage may have been bigger it didn’t keep this pumped up CC crowd from doing what it is a CC crowd does…dance on stage with Charity Case. Young and the young at heart alike daunted the stage to sing a little back up and shake a little hip to the Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Woman” among other tunes.
Eddie Z used the occasion to break in his new Zack Wylde Les Paul and you could almost see the steam coming off it when Mr. Z took it out for its first solo run in Van Halen’s “Panama”. (For those of you unfamiliar with guitars, the Zack Wylde is camouflage with a black bulls eye, as seen in the photos above taken by Doug Shockley of CarolinaConcerts.com, very cool.)
As a result of the obvious enjoyment had by all, promoters of the event asked the band to extend their set beyond its allotted time. Charity Case, being the ultimate givers that they are, were more than happy to oblige sending this Pep Rally into overtime.
This may be a sign that they will return for next year as well.
And this is Inside Charity Case.
