Frontman
Fitzpatrick acknowledged the crowd and the property stating “Thank you so much
for coming out and a special thanks to the Hard Rock for doing this, this is kind
of a big dream come true for all of us.”
The
display features Fitzpatrick’s trademark leather jacket and striped shirt,
Scaggs’ leather jacket, Yamaha bass guitar, Panther keyboard, DW kick drum with
signed drumheads and drumsticks, percussion instruments, assorted t-shirts and
posters, a menu from the 101 Coffee Shop and a neon heart from the More Than
Just a Dream album cover.
After
posing for pictures in front of the display, memorabilia curator Beau Dobney
opened the case and retrieved a Yamaha guitar for each band member to sign to
help commemorate the experience. Then Scaggs and her fellow band members posed
for photos with fans.
Fitz
and The Tantrums’ debut album, Pickin’ Up the Pieces, received critical acclaim
and reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. Rolling Stone deemed them a
“band to watch.” Their follow up album, More Than Just a Dream, featured the
hit singles “Out of My League,” and “The Walker" which both landed the No.
1 spot on Billboard's Alternative chart.
