The Classic Crime packed The Showbox to capacity on Tuesday night to usher in the release of their sophomore album “The Silver Cord,” with the help of (other) local acts Holyfield, Moneta and New Heights. But best of all, you could tell they were having fun. And that meant the crowd had fun. It was a hometown show, in the very best of ways. All photos by Nick Feldman.Published on July 24, 2008
