Kuttig their chops and polishing it up before hitting it big..Tom & boys deserved all the success. great job, boys! no better time in rock, period!

[@thecollingwood]

[@mufonette]

OMG I loved the Empire Rock club never forget the tv screens playing faces of death lol! Used to go every Thursday night around 1987.. Love Cinderella saw them in Philly too but not at the Empire.. that would have been Amazing!

[@theheavymetalkitchen7607]

Once Around the Ride.. What a song!! These were great times thanks for sharing!

[@nurkathorn]

I was 23 DAYS old when it was shot!!! I love you, Tom! I also played in such clubs in my town some years ago. Nothing compares to this romantic feeling

[@ThrillingTwo]

Man those Night Songs songs are so strong!!!!

[@mysticstarxxx8185]

I remember opening for them at the Galaxy and the Empire. What a freakin' party. Also the after-party at WYSP. Spent a lot of time at the Warehouse Studio along with Rudy Rubini (God Rest his Soul) and Lance Quinn producer.

[@robborella9322]

All Ages Sunday-you could not miss it. Empire outshined only by HammerJacks. But what about a 1987 Teeze video too?!

[@kellysutherland2039]

Thursday nights at the Empire! Life was so good!!

[@mufonette]

Heck yes!!!

[@MojosCoffeehouse]

I need to rescan this. It deserves it.

[@AlinaUrbansky]

I love him omg

[@suzanjournagan1112]

Thanks for sharing. Love it, epic , and I love that song Keep Me in Your Heart. Raw Rockin 💜💜💜

[@anthonybryant3038]

This is beyond epic.

[@c.fitzpatrick12]

My friends were in Buck Shot and they played with Cinderella a lot at the Galaxy.

[@LaurieValdez-zk3dy]

The Empire the Trocadero🎉🎉🎉

[@jeffcohnphoto]

I was 10 when this was shot but my first concert WAS at The Empire 3 years later (Heavens Edge). Now I live on Tyson practically down the street.

[@knockitofff]

thanks for posting, it's cool to see how they were most likely coached on how to fine tune the hits and they were sloppy too back then, there's still hope for me LOL

[@deathrowe3682]

Man, they were some epic shows here and at the Galaxy in the mid 80's !! Specially before Mike and Tony split for Britny Fox. They both still kicked a$$... I just liked the first lineup. Good buddy was Tony's drum tech. Those boys partied hard and we lived to watch these vids 30 something years later !!

[@knockitofff]

Mike and Tony were sacked by the record label, no surprise that Britny didn't come close to Cinderella's success

[@wrh5858]

32 years ago today! \m/

[@Skield]

Still rocking, still strong

[@mydesire3306]

Cinderella totally rocks!!!!! They're EPIC and PHENOMENAL on stage!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!!! It was truly awesome!!!!! I didn't understand Tom pulling Eric by the hair though, at the end. Is that a rock band stunt? I seen a video where Tom did that to Jeff also and didn't understand it. I was barely a teenager when this performance happened and didn't know about Cinderella back then. 💜💙💜

[@irocitZ]

I think this place closed their doors a little too soon if you ask me, I mean I don't even think grunge was out yet. If I remember correctly, the Cellblock opened a year or two after the Empire closed. Whatever it was that's where we started to go in the early 90s.

[@davidallenroth]

Fucking amazing KZbin find. I’m a young fan

[@seanmacdougall952]

I was at that show, used to see them at Empire and Galaxy and actually opened for them in 1985 at a roller skate rink in Philly area 😂

[@aladdinsane7882]

Jamison? I was there.

[@ricklittle4617]

Fun to see bands that have hit it big time coming up from playing high school dances and bowling alleys. Aerosmith first paying gig was high school prom and we’re not good But multi millionaires now after 50 years of work

[@briankeightly7065]

i got to play on tony destras drum kit at the galaxy, our band vigilante , played with cinderella, i dont like how , michael kelly smith and tony , how that whole thing went down.

[@izzy_6283]

Looks amazing, Tom is gorgeous & thanks for posting but the sound quality is terrible 😢

[@stephenmcgraw8871]

"Nobody`s Fool"....wow,what an ass-kicker....should`ve been this version on the record......Is this version on any demo anywhere?

[@ТатьянаКундозерова-ю9ю]

Очень плохое качество видео

[@AsylumSaint]

Was this the show Jon Bon Jovi was at when he discovered Cinderella?

[@suzanjournagan1112]

"She wrapped her legs around me all night long " 💋💋💋💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@OldCityBob]

I lived right near the Empire as a teenager but thought it was over 21 only. Damn do i feel like I missed out.

[@amberstacy693]

So young and cute

[@claraoreno3422]

What happened at 2:00?

[@yk-bl4jn]

Yea what happened?

[@_vixen_4504]

I think he may have stepped on his guitar cable which disconnected the guitar

[@Samuelevieceli384]

The guitarist is jeff labar??

[@69ardentartist]

✌

[@mikeskillings5985]

Best Drummers Cinderella had Was Tony Destra and Fred Coury

[@Malama_Ki]

Fred was pretty basic…. In fact, he didn’t play on Long Cold Winter because his chops weren’t up to the task. Facts

[@briankeightly7065]

how they got replaced by jeff and fred

[@suzanjournagan1112]

That is Jeff

[@majortom2GC]

Bon Jovi must be in there some where. 👍

[@mikeskillings5985]

Why does it Skip and not play all of the Songs

[@snoqueen313]

it was the '80s and video cameras sucked

[@TheMctrog]

Cameras may not have been good but the music sure was

[@NickiBratz]

Be happy you see it at all 😁

[@aladdinsane7882]

Copywrite

[@danielsherwood3460]

Had to change the video cassette in the camera.

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

I have a two cd (always had it on cassette) of Demos like 25 tunes are on it and I swear like 10 never released....sadly Tom wanted to become John Wayne and turn Cinderella into a country band or a bad version of Skynard....there are like 4 good songs on Heartbreak but OMG when they did that tune "One For Rock n Roll at the Spectrum...you literally (aside from my girlfriend))hear the groans from the fans like "OMG you are really going to play this live?' That song and album aside from a few tunes...KILLED them. After their set and leaving during DLR onstage...I ran into Heavens Edge Reggie and David...I said to them and I quote....."Cinderella just killed their career...next time you play, send Tom free tickets to see what a REAL band looks like. " That night I STOPPED supporting Cinderella.

[@suzanjournagan1112]

Too bad for you. Mz strutter your view is very narrow. Your tastes are also limited.

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

They were GREAT.......but HEAVENS EDGE was SOOOO MUCH BETTER. Would have LOVED to see Cinderella helo out Heavens Edge not that they needed it, but it have been nice....again love Cinderella but they are NO...HEAVENS EDGE

[@suzanjournagan1112]

heaven who?

[@danielsherwood3460]

LOL, you've got to be joking.

[@k.s.7104]

​@@danielsherwood3460Heavens Edge is pretty damn good.
