As you see in the photo above, shared by drummer Vinnie Amico, the venue’s marquee included a dedication to Vandercar that read “4EV.” In addition, moe. dedicated the evening’s rendition of “New York City” to Eric. Vandercar was a fixture in the NYC music scene. Bassist Rob Derhak led into “New York City” by saying, “We lost a really really good friend of ours just recently. And he was very close to all of us in the band. We loved Eric Vandercar. This was one of his favorite songs. We dedicate…well we dedicate everything to him.” Watch footage of Derhak’s dedication and the start of “New York City” captured by Annabel Lukins:
