Rage to Live at The Palladium (01-1987)

In January of 1987, Rage To Live played at the Palladium! Formed by Glenn Morrow in the mid-1980s, Rage To Live originally started in Hoboken as a side project while Glenn was still fronting another four-piece from the mile square city, The Individuals. Fronted by Morrow, the band included Rich Grula on bass, Bob Riley on drums, and Ed Tomney on guitar. Their self-titled debut, released in 1986, was the first ever release on the Hoboken based label Bar None Records. Their set includes several classic Rage To Live tracks, including My Heroine, and a fun cover of “Rock The Boat” by the Hues Corporation.

Located on E. 14th street between Irving Place and Third Ave., The Palladium began hosting concerts in the last 1960s following the closure of The Fillmore East. Legendary New York City acts New York like Patti Smith,, Lou Reed, and Television graced its stage over the course of the venue’s 30 year history. The final concert held at Palladium was a sold-out performance by Fugazi on May 1, 1997.
