Jeff,
Maybe you can help me out, last week my wife and I missed The Long Run-Eagles Tribute when they played Mizner Park in Boca Raton. The rain weather forecast scared us off from going to the see the show at the Mizner Park Amphitheater.
I know that you really follow Florida’s music scene and know great places to see cover/tribute bands.
Do you know where and when The Long Run is working next in the Miami/Broward/Palm Beach area? We’d love to see them as their You Tube videos are amazing!
Thank you very much for all that you do.

Thanks for reading!
Jeff,
The guy’s wife probably has to also dress him.š
By the way, The Long Run puts on a great show and Galuppi’s is a really good venue for cover/tribute bands. Good food and a real nice outdoor area for the bands.
Joe,
Maybe this will also help you out.
The Long Run goes on at 7:30pm, the show is free.

Galuppiās (Pompano Beach)
Posted on August 10th, 2008 Ā· American Pompano Beach
***** Galuppiās, 1103 N. Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Florida 33062 (954) 785-0226.
Last night, I had an absolutely terrific time at a joint named Galuppiās in Pompano Beach. Just so you know, Galuppiās which calls itself āGaluppiās Restaurant, Patio Bar & Banquetsā is actually located on the public Pompano Beach Golf Courseā¦ the view from its out-door patio of the course is absolutely amazing.
Galuppiās is basically a restaurant/catering facility. There is a small indoor restaurant that has a large sit-at-bar, 4 booths and maybe a half-dozen hi-topsā¦outside, there is another sit-at-bar and loads of tablesā¦there is also a banquet room attached to the restaurant that can be used for private parties or for restaurant customers. Now, to put this whole layout in perspectiveā¦go to Galuppiās website at http://www.galuppis.com where you will find actual pictures of what I have been blabbing about, along with menu/prices/and other details.
Last night, Galuppiās which does lunch and dinner 7 days a week and brunch on Sunday had The Beatlesā tribute band āAnthologyā performing from 8pm-midnight. Suffice it to say, this joint was absolutely packedā¦ the restaurant-the banquet room-the outside bar/patioā¦the band was on a small stage on the patio and Iāll bet you that from 8:30pm-10:30 pm (time I was there) there were at least 500-600 people maybe even more, eatingā¦drinkingā¦dancing. I am telling you, it was an absolutely great āparty.ā By the way, there was no cover charge or minimumā¦so for the price of a meal or a drinkā¦or for that matter, just walking inā¦got you into this āconcert.ā
Just a quick note, āAnthologyā was terrific. They were dressed in replicas of The Beatleās Shea Stadium army-uniforms and had the requisite Beatle haircutsā¦they did some great covers of The Beatlesā hits. The group is extremely personable and their interaction with the crowd had the joint really jumping. Their faux British accents which came and went all evening long, added to the funā¦and yes, they even have a left-handed bass player. You can check āAnthologyā out at http://www.myspace.com/fab4anthology. I guarantee that based on last nightās action, Galuppiās owners will have āAnthologyā back for another gig in the very near future.
I already gave you this jointās websiteā¦take a look at its menu. There are plenty of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts to keep everyone busyā¦By the way, the prices are very reasonable and last night our waitress Bobbi-Lynn was absolutely terrific despite the fact that the joint was absolutely packed (and I do mean packed). Last night I had babyback ribs, I also sampled the crab-cakes, snapper francaise and steak kabobs. The food is decent. Personally I would put it about ā1-notchā above the stuff you get in your typical neighborhood sports bar. Just so you know, Galuppiās also has tons of flat screen tv sets inside and outsideā¦Last night every set was tuned to the Olympic Games, so if āThe Beatlesā werenāt your game, you could scream for the American swimmers.
One thing that I found interestingā¦the banquet room has sound-proof glass. Amazingly, while eating in the room, you couldnāt hear the out-door crowd or the band at all.
Galuppiās is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week and for brunch on Sunday. According to its website, the joint has all kinds of entertainment and āspecialsāā¦so If you want to try Galuppiās, I would suggest that you ācall aheadā to find out āwhatās on tapā (pun intended).
