Showing more vigor than three bands half their age, the Wilson Brothers led the famous Gap Band Sunday Night in a parade of hits that would have put Pasadena's Roses to shame. Performing for what looks like the last Club Benson & Hedges tour, the music went on for more than an hour and a half at a feverish pace, which still wasn't enough for the sometimes sweaty and sometimes coiffed Century City crowd. A riotous cheer was raised at the end of the set, forcing the Gap Band to do an encore to finally satisfy their fans.

In attendance were a number of Lakers for Cedric Ceballos' birthday, as well as comedians DL Hughley, Robert Townsend, and Eddie Griffin.

It was an odd dichotomy at the Century Club, with the band on stage exhibiting lots of energy and exuberance while most of the packed house stood still, almost imperceptibly nodding their heads to the rhythm. One brother visiting from Arkansas yelled "LA don't know how to party," and he was answered by a brother behind him who said, "No, Century City don't know how to party," implying that the expensive nature of the clientele and the extreme trouble most of them went through to get their hair and looks together prohibited greater activity than a slight shimmy or wiggle.

In the end, the songs we grew up knowing and loving made it all worth while. The DJs rocked on until 2AM, after which the crowd milled out into the night. It was a great evening of entertainment, even though the Century Club's highbrow attitudes towards attire (this writer was wearing jeans and almost didn't make it in because of that), the show itself was an excellent performance and another great night of entertainment from Club Benson & Hedges.
