Cinderella at Revolution Live, Fort Lauderdale, August 7, 2010
Hard rock legends Cinderella brought their Night Songs-era catalog and bluesy glam metal to Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale on August 7, 2010 — a show that reminded South Florida why the band sold 30 million copies of their debut without a hit single.

Premier Guide Miami was on the scene. Here is what we witnessed.
Cinderella came to Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale on August 7, 2010. The band that Jon Bon Jovi discovered in the mid-1980s — and whose 1986 debut Night Songs sold 30 million copies worldwide without a hit single, a first in rock music history — delivered a set that reminded the Fort Lauderdale crowd exactly why they mattered.
Cinderella's catalog holds up because it was never purely glam metal. The bluesy feel that deepened on Long Cold Winter — which sold 25 million copies globally in less than half a year — gave the band a musical foundation that outlasted the genre. Tom Keifer's voice, ragged and powerful, was the center of the Revolution Live show, and the crowd responded to every note.
"Shake Me," "Nobody's Fool," "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)," and "Gypsy Road" were among the highlights. The Revolution Live crowd — a mix of longtime fans and younger listeners discovering the catalog — was fully engaged from the first song to the last.
Play Miami covers the city's live music, nightlife, and cultural events — the moments that make South Florida worth showing up for.
