The second interval was with Glenn and Issi doing the Everly Brothers stuff which the classic Everly Brothers hits from the 50's and 60's which they sang great together as well as doing an Don Gibson song too as well as Roy Orbison song Penny Arcade and wore black clothes as well as issi saying the happenings at CRO as where he was performing that weekend.
