Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
Hard Rock Live in Hollywood has hosted some of the most memorable nights in South Florida's concert history. UB40's Relentless Tour Stops on August 22 added another one to the list.
UB40 's Relentless tour stopped at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood on August 22, and the Birmingham reggae institution delivered an 18-song set that moved through their catalog of originals and covers with the easy confidence of a band that has been making this music for nearly five decades. The show was a reminder of how deeply UB40's sound — reggae rhythms, soul covers, and the occasional pop crossover — has embedded itself in the popular consciousness. They opened with an Al Green cover of "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" before a Jacksons cover of "Maybe Tomorrow," a Chi-Lites cover of "Homely Girl," "Sing Our Own Song," and "One in Ten" set the tone for a night that would balance originals with the covers that have defined their catalog. "Home," "You Don't Call Anymore," a Jimmy Cliff cover of "Many Rivers to Cross," and "Higher Ground" preceded a Temptations cover of "The Way You Do the Things You Do," a Bob Dylan cover of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," an Eric Donaldson cover of "Cherry Oh Baby," a Brenton Wood cover of "Gimme Little Sign," and a Slickers cover of "Johnny Too Bad." A Neil Diamond cover of "Red Red Wine" — the song that introduced UB40 to a generation of listeners who might not have found them otherwise — drew the night's biggest singalong before the encore brought "Food for Thought," a Lord Creator cover of "Kingston Town," and an Elvis Presley cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love" that closed the night on a note of pure warmth.
