It was six minutes before 3 a.m. when rock-cover band Alter Ego broke into “Kickstart My Heart” on Fremont Street Experience’s 1st Street Stage.
Moments later, at Main Street Station, hair-metal cover band Spandex Nation broke into the same song. The sound of the Motley Crue classic being played separately actually blended between the two stages…
So it was magic on Fremont Street once more, beginning at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Whether planned or not, “Kickstart My Heart” was a natural selection for all of these bands, who kick-started live entertainment on the FSE after 15-month pandemic pause. As always, there was no cover for these musically muscular cover bands.
