Concert review: pablo cruise live at the rose & alfred miniaci performing arts center in davie.

Last night, under the warm glow of the stage lights at the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center, the legendary band Pablo Cruise took us on a musical voyage that transcended time. Their performance was nothing short of exhilarating, leaving the audience with hearts racing and spirits soaring.

From the moment they stepped on stage, Pablo Cruise exuded an aura of authenticity. Their honest, down-to-earth vocals resonated through the theater, inviting us to join them on a sonic adventure. And oh, what an adventure it was!

The band’s infectious grooves had the crowd swaying, tapping their feet, and occasionally leaping out of their seats. It was as if the music had a gravitational pull, drawing everyone into its orbit. And let’s not forget those elegant guitar riffs that seemed to dance effortlessly across the frets—a testament to the band’s mastery.

“Whatcha Gonna Do When She Says Goodbye?” and “Love Will Find A Way”—these mega hits from Pablo Cruise’s repertoire transported us back to a time when melodies were etched into our souls. The audience sang along, their voices blending harmoniously with the band’s. It was a collective celebration of music, love, and memories.

But Pablo Cruise didn’t just play their hits; they breathed new life into them. The songs felt fresh, as if they were written just for that magical night. And when the band broke into an extended jam session, the energy in the room reached a fever pitch. Guitar solos soared, bass lines throbbed, and the rhythm section held it all together like a well-tuned engine.

As the final notes of their encore echoed through the hall, the audience rose to their feet, applause thundering like a summer storm. Pablo Cruise had not only entertained us but also reminded us why live music is an irreplaceable experience.

If you missed last night’s performance, you missed a piece of music history. But fear not—keep an eye out for their next show. Because when Pablo Cruise sets sail, you’ll want to be on board, dancing under the stars, carried away by their timeless tunes.

Music | Review: Meet the most underrated band in Bay Area rock music history

Pablo cruise is way more than just the radio hits.

Pablo Cruise is the most underrated band in Bay Area music history.

The Sausalito-born group proved to be the complete package during its approximately 90-minute set at the lovely Menlo Park venue, solidly delivering 14 songs that appealed to listeners in various ways. There were the concise, hook-driven hits as well as other shiny pop-rock nuggets that should have been a.m. radio smashes back in the ’70s. There were also folksy numbers, jammed-out rockers and plenty of mesmerizing instrumental interludes.

And all of it was delivered by a band of first-rate players — founding members Cory Lerios on keyboards and David Jenkins on vocals and guitar as well as bassist Larry Antonino, drummer Sergio Gonzalez and vocalist Robbie Wyckoff.

Yet, the band rarely gets the credit for those kinds of things. Instead, many think of the group as a late ’70s flash in the pan with two, maybe three, songs you might want to hear and a career that was resurrected in large part due to Will Ferrell wearing a Pablo Cruise shirt in the 2008 comedy “Step Brothers.”

And none of that could be further from the truth (well, except for the Ferrell part). The band actually has a strong and deep songbook, built from seven albums that were released from 1975 to 1983.

Following a well-received opening set from Palo Alto bluesman AJ Crawdaddy (who once was a member of Pablo Cruise), the lights dimmed and a fun seven-minute video — covering the career arch of Pablo Cruise — was shown to the audience. (FYI: The video did touch upon the Ferrell factor.)

Then the five-piece outfit took the stage and opened with a charged-up version of “Worlds Away,” the title track to Pablo Cruise’s platinum-plus-selling fourth album from 1978. It was straight-up pop-rock joy — the kind that Journey and Toto fans would certainly appreciate — and performed with both great flare and meticulous care.

It was the first of many times in the evening when Jenkins would cause jaws to drop with his mighty guitar work. His playing, which has always provided the teeth to Pablo Cruise’s soft-rock hits and other recordings, has even more bite in concert than in the studio.

From there, the band peddled some fine yacht rock — the genre that championed smooth a.m. radio hits of the ’70s and early ’80s — as it sailed on with a pair of gorgeous ballads, “Cool Love” (from 1981’s “Reflector”) and “Raging Fire” (from 1977’s platinum-selling smash “A Place in the Sun”).

The latter was highlighted by incredible harmony vocal work and was so beautiful that it could have been a Crosby, Stills & Nash number. And if it had indeed been a CSN tune, it would have made it on their greatest hits album.

Next up was “Atlanta June,” which, believe it or not, was the original A-side to the single that gave the band it’s huge “Whatcha Gonna Do?” hit. And while that song failed to make it on the charts, it was one of the absolute highlights of this concert as it nicely showcased the powerful vocals of Wyckoff (who spent years singing with Roger Waters on tour).

Turning the calendar on “Atlanta June,” four-fifths of the band left the stage and Jenkins performed “Livin’ Inside of Your Love,” a mesmerizing solo acoustic folk-pop offering, filled with crafty and endearing lyrics, which was deeply reminiscent of the late-great John Prine. (And that’s about as big a compliment as we can give any folk-pop tune.)

Then Lerios — who grew up in Palo Alto, a stone’s throw (or so) away from the Guild  — took the stage and offered up a funny counterpoint to Jenkin’s softly romantic number with his own “I Get Tired Just Thinking of You.”

Humor was a huge part of the night, as Lerios and Jenkins playfully bickered and joked throughout the evening. The person sitting next to me compared the duo to the Smothers Brothers, a reference that probably says a lot about the age of both the band and their audience.

Lerios, for example, would draw big laughs when he discussed why he split ways with Jenkins in the ’80s, leading to the band’s breakup.

“We weren’t getting along very well,” he said, before adding with solid deadpan delivery and a sideways glance at Jenkins. “We still don’t.”

There was also a fun self-effacing zinger that came during the band member introductions, after Wyckoff explained how, before he got the call to join Pablo Cruise, he used to fly in private jets around the globe while touring with Roger Waters.

“After that phone call, I had to ask Robby, ‘Have you ever flown Southwest?'” Lerios joked of Pablo Cruise’s apparent means of air travel these days.

Lerios, however, probably isn’t hurting for money one bit. After all, he went on to have a very successful career in composing for TV and film after Pablo Cruise called it quits in the ’80s. His most notable work in that realm came when he landed the gig to do the music for “Baywatch” — and, as a reminder of such to fans, the band performed that TV show’s theme during the Guild concert.

The show reached another high point with the incredible jam through “Zero to Sixty in Five,” a standout from 1976’s “Lifeline” album that thoroughly reminded us of the great instrumental numbers that the group has recorded through the years. (I actually wish the band had played more instrumental songs — especially “El Verano” from “A Place in the Sun” and the 12-minute-plus “Ocean Breeze” from the first album.)

From there, it was hit city as Pablo cruised through the favorites “Don’t Want to Live Without It,” “I Go to Rio” and, of course, the dual smashes “Love Will Find a Way” and “Whatcha Gonna Do?”

It was a superb showing by a group that should be mentioned way more frequently whenever the topic of best Bay Area bands comes up.

Pablo Cruise plays tonight (Friday, May 10) at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma. For more information, visit pablocruise.com/shows .

The Legend of Pablo Cruise

Growing up in Caracus, Venezuala, Pablo Cruz never dreamed of getting to America, let alone becoming a rock and roll star. He sang as a child, and by his teens became pretty good strumming a guitar that belonged to his older brother Francisco. One sultry night in the summer of 1976, while performing with a merengue band in a tiny local joint named Calcaño’s Café,  destiny found him – along with Georgetown Records executive, Ignacio Irribarren, who was on vacation visiting his family in Caracus. “He stormed up to the stage after our show and roared ‘I’m taking you with me to Nashville and I’m changing your name!’” recalled Cruz. “He’d been chugging wine most of the night so I didn’t believe him at first. But somehow he convinced me that he was serious. Maybe it was his corduroy suit in August,” Pablo said with a laugh.

With his keen marketing instincts and an unorthodox knack for discovering new artists, Irribarren had earned the music industry nickname “Theta Man.” Putting those talents quickly to work, he issued outlandish press releases proclaiming the next Richie “La Bamba” Valens, hired Cruz a backing band of established session players and got him right into the studio, where the magic happened…almost immediately. “It took me a week or so to fully learn to write songs in English,” said Cruz, who amazingly had primarily known only what he’d picked up studying the character Mr. French on reruns of Family Affair until then. The work was recorded, mixed and ready to go in just three months. But Irribarren had one promise still to fulfill. “He said to me, ‘We’re not going to change the way your name sounds, just the spelling.’ I was skeptical, of course, and proud of my family heritage,” said Pablo. “But he was adamant, and boorish, and we’d already come this far.” And so was born the brief pop phenomenon of a man named Pablo Cruise.

The subsequent album Cruise Control was released in February of 1977, and the easy soul of its lead single, ‘Whatcha Gonna Do’ proved irresistible to light rock audiences burned out on disco and not ready for punk. As Pablo’s smash record rapidly climbed the charts, so too did his notoriety. Relocating to New York City, he quickly became a regular at famed Studio 54, hanging out with the Liza Minnelli and Diane Von Furstenberg crowd, seen canoodling with the likes of Deborah Harry and pre-Jagger Jerry Hall, and striking up a fast friendship with Andy Warhol, whose unforgettable portrait of Pablo Cruise would stand alongside the Campbell’s Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe to become one of Warhol’s best-known works ever. One memorable night at Elaine’s, the notorious Upper East Side celebrity eatery, Pablo’s fame reached a particularly farcical level. Tom Cruise, fresh off his breakout success for Risky Business , approached him at his table and began insisting that they were related. “Dios mio, he’d obviously been doing a lot of coke,” giggled Pablo, “so I just let him believe it. Heck, maybe his name had been re-spelled, too!”

Sadly, like so many other overnight success stories, glory for Pablo was excruciatingly short-lived. Unable to recreate the mellow gold of ‘Whatcha Gonna Do’ and finding himself supplanted in the popular music scene by more cutting-edge acts like Dan Hill and Christopher Cross, Cruise’s prominence faded precipitously. In desperation, star-maker Irribarren attempted to re-brand Cruise as a leather-clad, heavy metal act, hastily producing the would-be comeback album Cruisin’ For A Bruisin’ . But audiences proved indifferent to Pablo’s new tough guy persona, and less than three short years after his splashy arrival from Caracus, Pablo Cruise faded into rock and roll oblivion.

Two later notable attempts via old Hollywood connections endeavoring to resuscitate Cruise’s utterly dormant career proved painfully fruitless. Will Farrell, a super-fan during Cruise’s brief pop supremacy and hoping to help him get placed on an oldies circuit, prominently wore a Pablo Cruise t-shirt in his moving fraternal relationship film Step Brothers . But still, no offers materialized. And in the final indignity, another bid to revive Pablo’s name and at least garner some possible wedding and bar mitzvah gigs was sabotaged when a perplexing typo in the script for underdog stoner comedy Napoleon Dynamite led to the secondary character being named Pedro rather than Pablo, thus rendering what became the popular plot line of “Vote For Pedro” entirely pointless.

“Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye? / Whatcha gonna do when she is gone?” went the telling title line to Pablo Cruise’s masterwork, his one brilliant, indelible mark on the pop music world. Little did Pablo Cruise, nee Cruz, know that she – that fickle lady named fate – would pass him so soon. That she was merely, if you will, cruising by.

Um, just kidding. Pablo Cruise was a popular late ‘70’s smooth rock band – who actually did have the hit song ‘Whatcha Gonna Do’ – made up of four guys from San Francisco, none of whom was named Pablo Cruise. When the quartet were asked which one is Pablo they would commonly answer, “He’s the guy in the middle.”

And yeah, it’s not April Fool’s Day, but everyone suspects a little deceitful nonsense on April 1st, and not, say, December 5th.

In 1975 Pablo Cruise released its first A&M album simply entitled Pablo Cruise. The album cover was shot in the tropical gardens of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and it featured a huge gorilla standing front and center. The band, David Jenkins (guitars, vocals), Cory Lerios(keyboards, vocals), Bud Cockerel (bass, vocals) and Steve Price (drums, percussion) were no where in sight. At that point there was a bit of a mystique surrounding Pablo Cruise and when asked what Pablo Cruise meant, the well-rehearsed answer went something like this: “Pablo”, represents an honest, real, down to earth individual, and “Cruise” depicts his fun loving, easy going attitude towards life: In essence that’s what Pablo Cruise music is all about. Honest, real down to earth vocals, accompanied by fun yet elegant, infectious grooves. To hear Pablo Cruise on record is one thing, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event!

From 1975 to 1985 the band toured the United States, Canada and Japan extensively, welcoming fans to “Climb Aboard The Good Ship Pablo Cruise.” Reaching the top 10 with mega hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do When She Says Goodbye?” and “Love Will Find A Way,”and several other top 20’s, the band went on to sell several million albums and singles collectively and established themselves as well respected writers and performers within the industry. They appeared on numerous TV shows, including Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, The Merv Griffin Show, The Dinah Shore Hour and in 1979 they broke Elvis Presley’s attendance record at the Sahara Tahoe in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, becoming the first rock band to play a casino showroom. They also became the first rock band to grace the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, but by 1985 after completing several national tours and releasing 7 studio  albums in all, the band decided to take a hiatus……one that lasted nearly 20 years.

Fast forward 20 years…. In 2005 a reunited Pablo Cruise picked up where they left off and today the band performs all over the U.S. and Canada and they’re enjoying it more than ever… Since getting back together, they have released two live CD’s and a DVD all through Sony Music documenting their exceptional live shows.  During the Pandemic the boys wrote and produced a new single (through Sony) entitled “Breathe” which received considerable critical reviews!  One of the great things about playing shows after all these years, is that primary songwriters David Jenkins and Cory Lerios are still on board!  “Cory says, going out and playing shows these days, gives us the opportunity to not only pay tribute to our timeless repertoire, it also gives us a chance to see old friends and fans from back in the day, as well as gaining a whole new audience!”  Today Pablo Cruise is bringing more energy and excitement to the stage than ever before and with the addition of Larry Antonino (bass, vocals), Robbie Wyckoff (vocals, percussion) and Sergio Gonzalez (drums, percussion) the band has never sounded better!   If you get an opportunity to see Pablo Cruise live, don’t pass it up……IT’S GOOD TO BE LIVE!   www.pablocruise.com

Founding Members

DAVID JENKINS (guitar, vocals)

Throughout the late 80’s, original lead vocalist David Jenkins continued touring and garnered acclaim in world of country music with  the slightly ahead of their time country-rock band Southern Pacific. As they racked up hits like “Midnight Highway,” the chart topper  “New Shade of Blue” and “Honey I Dare You” (co-written by Jenkins) the band toured all over the U.S. In 1992 Dave connected with  Hawaii’s native son Kapono Beamer, and in ’95 the duo released the album “Cruisin’ on Hawaiian Time,” that became a critics  favorite as well as being nominated for Hawaii’s prestigious Hoku Award for “Album Of The Year”. Dave has recorded with many  music industry greats such as: Micky Hart, Buddy Miles, The Jefferson Starship, Huey Lewis, The Doobie Bros. to  name just a few!….Since ’99 Jenkins has joined forces with the composite group, Rock & Pop Masters, that includes some of the

great singers of the ’70’s and ’80’s. In May of 2011, Dave traveled to Iraq to perform for the troops with Bobby Kimball (Toto) and Bill  Champlin (Chicago)… The troops were thrilled to have them even though the band barely escaped being blown off the stage…. for  real!!!

CORY LERIOS (keys, vocals)

Pianist, vocalist Cory Lerios decided to turn his writing and producing skills to Film and Television. In 1986 he landed his first scoring  opportunity when he was asked to write the music for the now “cult classic” “One Crazy Summer” starring Demi Moore and John  Cusack. In 1987 Lerios landed his first network series, scoring ABC’s critically acclaimed “Max Headroom.” ABC’s “O’Hara and  “Police Story” immediately followed. Writing to “picture” became Cory’s new found passion and in 1989 Cory partnered with long  time friend and composer John D’Andrea. Together they formed Lerios D’Andrea Musicworks and aside from scoring 300 episodes  of “Baywatch,” they garnered several Emmy Nominations and won the coveted award for “Music Direction for soap “Days Of Our  Lives.” Lerios D’Andrea Musicworks went on to produce countless hours of TV scores and themes including “Diagnosis Murder,” “Flipper,” and “Marshall Law.” In 2005 Lerios and D’Andrea parted ways and Cory has continued to write themes and underscore for  several shows including Disney’s “Kim Possible,” Universal’s “Land Before Time.” In 2015 Cory released an EP under his  pseudonym, “Cory Charles”  corycharles.com  entitled “If I Could Change Anything, It Would Be You.” (Cory’s credits)

Thank you; Dave, Cory, Steve, Larry and Robbie...

This show was excellent! The music sounded great and the band performed beyond our expectations. Larry played the bass guitar better than I have ever heard before in any concert, he is impressive. The band all outdid themselves at this concert with their music and humor. Great guys that have not lost their quality of sound. I will see them again when they are back in the Northwest. And yes, they even did a bit of a meet and greet afterwards. Thanks guys!

The band hasn’t lost its touch. They sounded as good as their albums from the 70’s What a great performance and very fun interaction with the fans so personable and fantastic night. Played for 2 hours had a marvelous night. Would go and see them again and again great voices and music was as good as being in the recording studio with them in 1976. Highly recommend going to see them.

I just saw them in Medford,Or. at the Craterian Theater. What a great show they put on. Being from the Bay Area as they are. I have always loved their style of rock. Of course they played all their hits and some new ones as well. I look forward to seeing them live again in the future.

I have Been fortunate to have seen them a couple of times.

They are fricken fantastic. There are no words that can possibly describe how great they sound and in a more intimate venue they bring their A game and will take the house down.

I have seen Pablo Cruise one time and have brought every LP and all of their cd’s and have followed them thru the years and have their latest cd and they are still wonderful and looking fantastic!

Love one of their biggest fans.

Saw them - my first concert ever- in 77 when I was ten. LOVED them. The lead singer's energy was what sold me and made me broke on going to live shows ever since! LOL Look forward to seeing them again. Sharon in NC!

Louis Vuitton Unveils an Awe-Inspiring Cruise Collection Full of Texture and Volume

Friends of the house including Sophie Turner, Ana de Armas, and Cynthia Erivo decamped to Barcelona to take in the latest.

Creative director Nicolas Ghesquière might be the busiest man in fashion—since the start of the year, the designer has shown at Paris Fashion Week to celebrate his 10th year at helm of the house and recently debuted his pre-fall 2024 collection in Shanghai. The opening look of the latest show was a minidress rendered in a woven wool resembling natural fibers, with a crisp white lapel. What could be an otherwise average piece was taken firmly into 2024 with Oakley-esque reflective sunglasses, sharp-toed biker boots, and a flat-brimmed boater hat fit for Beyoncé.

With this assortment, Ghesquière attempted to look at all facets of Spanish life, from the rich history of the matadors to the flamenco tradition. Swishing dresses made of delicate flowers stitched together recalled folk ensembles. Gaudí’s ever-inspiring work showed up in geometric prints on flouncy cotton pants and in the shiny sequins mirroring his signature mosaics that adorned minidresses with exaggerated sleeves. Textural elements added life and depth—think: fringed, plaid tweed on cut-out maxi dresses and gray lacquered straw hats. The tans, grays, and blacks juxtaposed well with the striking reds, greens, and blues often seen in the Catalan architect’s palette.

Standout accessories were undoubtedly the Yeti-inspired shoes, which mirrored the fringed gloves Ghesquière sent down the runway for fall/winter 2024. The last sequence of looks were draped, gathered, and bold, cinched low or high with large black and white leather belts. The dramatic pleating on flamenco-style dresses appeared sensual without being costume-y. Instead, it was a great example of a designer riffing on history and making it his own. All in all, cruise 2025 was 100 percent Ghesquière with a sprinkle of Spain—totally modern yet rooted in classicism, not unlike Gaudí’s approach to creating pieces that last a lifetime.
