The crowds were there to receive a repeat performance. They were never disappointed as Rocky dished out the choicest of his signature "Roots Hop Reggae" tunes, which sent people craving for more.

On Friday May 3, the Bohemian Club in Seattle, Washington experienced Rocky in his element, rocking away the time with the crowd. On Saturday, June 15 Rocky returned to LA's favourite club, Temple Bar in Santa Monica, California, where the group "Eyedentity" opened the show.

The next event of his tour attracted many people as they came in their numbers to see Rocky under the sun at the fun beach hang out called the Chiller's in Redondo Beach on Sunday, July 7. As the music flowed and steps got hotter, the whole atmosphere was charged putting Rocky in the mood to show them a good time.
