"Some like the dj music in bewteen some don't. It's never meant to be a slap in tha face of live music, but Fargo has never given in and went to DJ music only. Its been live music for almost 50 years. That's respect for live music. And yes, I am the DJ up there usually. I have been there 10 years in Fargo, and everyone who comes in there knows I am a Live music freak. I was not there night the RedHeads played, I have heard good vibes about that group and look forward to being working when they come back." - Mike Sunken

The final stop of the night was at the Fargo in Moline to see Nervous Rex. This was the first time i had been in the Fargo since the middle 80's, except for a christmas party in one of the many party rooms. While House Arrest plays more 80's hard rock, and Nitrix is more danceable classic rock, i really don't know how to describe Nervous Rex. Theres not much these guys don't play. One of the widest varities i've ever heard in a band. Blues, Country, Classic Rock, Classic Hard Rock, to current hits fresh off the radio, they play it all, and very well. They play a lot of songs that i don't think have ever been covered by a local band which is very refreshing. Nervous Rex features David James on drums and vocals, Jerry Heard on bass and vocals, Mark Taber on keyboards and vocals, and Robert Geiger on guitar. Their playlist features such songs like Margaritaville/ The Joker/ Mustang Sally/ Rosanna/ Spirit Of Radio/ You May Be Right/ Beautiful Girls/ What Is And What Should Never Be/ Badhisattva, and many more. The song that impressed me the most was The Devil Went Down To Georgia. When they said they were gonna play this song i was thinking how are they gonna pull this off without the fiddle parts. Robert did an excellent job playing the fiddle parts on the guitar, which couldn't have been an easy task. Thats what you get with Nervous Rex, very accomplished musicians. It was nice being in the Fargo and not have to listen to The Heat Is On, or Morris Day and the Time, which is what every band played at the Fargo back in the 80's. While i can't dance i don't think my foot stopped moving the whole set of Nervous Rex's. Jim and I were even singing "Ride Sally Ride" at our table during Mustang Sally, and i can't sing, but we couldn't help ourselves. Thanks guys, you capped our night out perfectly. - John Pepping, Rock Beat July 11, 2005
