Friday April 27th 2007, at The Caribbean Vibe Club in Chaguanas. This was one of the premier events hosted by Rock City International and the night was off to a good start with the Rock City Group (Guys & Gals) entertaining the audience with some exciting dance moves including well arranged "Break Dancing" to some of the oldies such as Michael Jacksons "Billie Jean and for those who remember "Dougie Fresh". The first act to hit the stage was Rahil Babooram and he gave the performance that he is renowned for doing some of his own originals and an excellent rendition of Yesterday by The Beatles. Next on Stage was The Certified Addicts who in addition to the Original "Rock & Roll Man" did covers of Knocking on Heavens Door and Hotel California. The last band on stage was Pail, although a new and upcoming band, the crowd afterwards said they were well entertained and the originals belted out by Pail were of top class. Giveaways during the night included Baseball Caps, Openers and Playing Cards all with the compliments of Stag, In addition two lucky patrons walked away with hampers courtesy of Angostura and White Oak. Two patrons also received two tickets to the up coming Air Supply/Richard Marx & Christopher Cross concert courtesy of Rock City International.

The second show in the series of monthly shows put on by Rock City Internation went off as schedules with an increased crowd from the previous show. Many patrons were happy with the line up with a new band on the scene Abyss having the crowd moving. An impromptu session by a patron (of Pink Floyds, Another Brick In The Wall) supported by Peter Plummer on Guitar was a huge success with the crowd. Patrons afterwards said that they could hardly wait for the next show in June. Many patrons were glad that Rock City International was taking the initiative in bringing the Rock & Roll Scene back to live in Chaguanas and Trinidad in general. Patrons were glad to have a venue to see rock in Chaguanas.

Pier 1 on Saturday July 21st 2007 saw the tribute entertainer Shakira together with columbian dancers. While the show in itself was entertaining and the acts well done, many patrons said that it was too much of the same old, same old. With tribute bands to acts such as AC/DC, U2, No Doubt, Green Day, Queen and now Shakira, one patron siad that it is as if the Trini rockers are not good enough for the real acts to visit our shores. Seeing a real act like The Outfield, Air Supply or REO Speedwagon is something I can tell my kids about said one patron, wo wants to tell their kids they say a look alike act? Also many patrons complained that they had called in to 95.1 and won tickets which despite numerous visits to the radio station, they were unable to get. One person who said she had to eventually purchase her ticket said she visited the station three times and only got excuses. She has gotton no courtesy call from 95 or even an apology. Another patron said this is not the first time that this has happened and he experienced it for the previous show held by 95.1.
