The legendary hard rock/heavy metal band Riot carried on without guitarist/founder Mark Reale to rock on at B.B. King’s in New York City Wednesday, January 18. Reale was absent due to being hospitalized last week with Crohn’s disease (read more about it here). However, Reale and his family wanted the band to carry on with their scheduled gigs (read band statement here).

Photos below. Set list is at right. Opening acts were NYC’s own Gothic Knights and Arctic Flame.
