On Tuesday night, Prospera Place came to life with Rock 'n' Roll as Scottish hard-rockers, Nazareth, and Canadian treasures, Prism, hit the stage.

Though the crowd was not the biggest the bands have seen, there is no denying they may have been one of the most energetic.

Coming out faster and hotter than a meteorite falling to earth, Nazareth exploded onto the stage, kicking things off with their song “Silver Dollar Forger.”

Current lead singer, and replacement for original Scotsman Dan McCafferty, Carl Sentance was a raging ball of pure rock and roll.

Hitting notes that most dogs can't even hear, all the while whipping his curly locks across the stage (and looking damn fine doing it), Sentance is a live wire who punched up the "Razamanaz" of this set with his power metal-esque vocal register.

Hard and heavy, Nazareth kept things grimy in the best possible way.

Original bassist, Pete Agnew, gave the god of thunder a run for his money, pushing out riffs that rumbled like the belly of a hungry beast.

Matching that of his father, drummer Lee Agnew kept things fast and heavy while running rhythmic circles around the kit.

And guitarist Jimmy Murrison was on fire, ripping solos that moved the entire audience to their feet and had their jaws hitting the floor.

“This Flight,” “Morning Dew,” “Love Hurts” and of course, “Hair Of The Dog,” Nazareth coasted through the band’s extensive library from the past few decades while hanging around fan favourite albums, keeping the audience hungry for more.

Returning to Prospera Place close to a year after Rock the Lake, Prism took to the stage first, a perfect band to warm up a crowd. The lights went black, and the crowd was transported to another universe as the interstellar ambiance of “Spaceship Superstar” chimed throughout the arena.

Almost immediately members from the front row leaped out of their seats to be met by matching enthusiasm from frontman, Al Harlow.

Animated, and near pitch-perfect, Harlow managed to both shred on the guitar while keeping each audience member engaged from start to finish.

Okanagan born bassist, and current Kelownian, Tad Goddard was exuberant.

Bass lines that hit you with a crashing thud, and an energy that gave Harlow a run for his money, Goddard made K-town proud.

Shooting out hit after hit from their solar powered, laser beam instruments, no fan was disappointed following their set.

Concluding their time on stage with the anthemic chart topper, “Armageddon,” Prism had the concert-goers belting out the lyrics along with them.

Attendees were given a "twofer" as these guys had the setlist and energy of a second headliner.

Loud 'n’ proud, Nazareth brought forth the grueling sound of Rock 'n’ Roll that has been so dearly missed, while Prism brought the stage presence that the genre is known for.
