In recognition of Rush FINALLY being selected to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I bring you a classic Christmas gift: Rush live at the Cleveland Agora from December 16, 1974.

Neil Young & Los Lobos: Cleveland 10-8-12
Look out mama, there’s some greybeards comin’ up the river. They may look like your old hippie parents or grandparents, but they are really one of rock music’s most enduring and consistent bands, Crazy Horse. Playing as if the clock never moved over the last 40-plus some years, it was a treat to see Neil […]
Good Listening: A Show for Everyman
As summer winds down, the opportunity to enjoy a great outdoor concert becomes more elusive with each passing day.

Local metal impresario Bill Peters celebrates the 25th anniversary of his record label Auburn Records with a […]
Lloyd Cole: Past, Present and Future
While perusing the Winchester’s schedule on Sunday night, my jaw dropped at the show announced for January 27, 2010: Lloyd Cole Trio. I immediately flashed back to 2006. In November of that year, I flew to Cleveland for a few days, with the express purpose of catching Placebo at the Agora and Cole at the […]
Show of the Week: All Hail The Winchester
If someone were to ask me for my 30 second elevator pitch on why I love living in Cleveland, I know that without question, The Winchester would be one of the reasons on my list. I like to think of The Winchester as “the little venue that could.” While other venues in Cleveland have had […]
