For the last time, Formula 5 took to the stage of Putnam Place and performed two sets full of classics with plenty of jams to go around. The band announced in March that they were taking a break, and this being their last club show, fans came out to pack the venue one last time. Songs stretching across the seven years of the band’s existence were performed, with a slideshow of the band in the background in between sets. Albany’s fast-rising Glass Pony opened the night with a set that included a debut cover of “Lucky Man” by Emerson, Lake and Palmer with Formula 5’s Matt Richards joining on keys.

After Putnam Place, Formula 5 is set to perform at Disc Jam Music Festival, Beanstalk Music Festival and their own Rock the Dock Music Festival on July 12 before taking an extended break.
