On Saturday night I took my sister out for the full rock and roll experience via one of the best tours of the summer – Journey with special guests Heart and Cheap Trick. This was her first time seeing Heart and Cheap Trick, and as she reminded me, she had seen Journey (with Steve Augeri […]

Put your 90s sunglasses on and rock out with some of these….
Semisonic – Closing Time Welcome to September! My unofficial ’90s weekend drew to a close yesterday with an awesome set from Big Head Todd & The Monsters at Taste of Cleveland. My friend Captain, forever living his life in lower case over @ captains dead was surprised to find out that Big Head Todd are […]
Setlist: Seven Mary Three and Sponge – Roc Bar Cleveland 8/30/08
With Big Head Todd and the Monsters in town today, it feels like 90s weekend here in Cleveland, and the weekend got off to a good start last night with back to back sets from fellow 90s vets Sponge and Seven Mary Three. Attendance for the concert on the east bank of The Flats at […]
Setlist: Styx @ House of Blues 8-24-08
In the moments before Styx took the stage at House of Blues in Cleveland, “Wake Up Little Susie” by The Everly Brothers played at elevated volume through the sound system. There was significance behind the song choice that likely was unnoticed by most of the crowd in attendance. Susie Young, wife of longtime Styx guitarist […]
Setlist: Foreigner @ House of Blues 8-17-08
The inflatable jukebox is in storage, and the band that carries the name “Foreigner” is almost entirely made up of replacement players these days, except for founding guitarist Mick Jones. Still, Foreigner managed to serve up an enjoyable yet predictable performance on Sunday night at the House of Blues. Vocalist Kelly Hansen, an almost-dead ringer […]

Setlist: Extreme @ House of Blues 8-6-08
The new Extreme album Saudades de Rock officially hit the streets this past Tuesday. (purchase) Listen to the full album via AOL right here. Prior to the album’s official release, I had the opportunity to see the Cleveland date of the current reunion tour at House of Blues, which found the band anchoring a musician’s […]
Setlist: Nine Inch Nails @ Virgin Festival 8/10/08
There had been a rare cancellation of a Nine Inch Nails show a couple of nights prior to their Virgin Festival appearance, so there was worried buzz that NIN might cancel. When we got there and saw NIN road cases, gear, and lighting in place at the beginning of the day Sunday, we knew there […]
Setlist: Stone Temple Pilots @ Virgin Festival 8/10/08
Stone Temple Pilots were 20 minutes late taking the stage. As a result, their scheduled 75 minute set was shortened to 55 minutes. (Check out pix here.) I’m not sure what they cut out of the planned setlist to compensate, but they did change up the opener since the last time I saw them (at […]
Setlist: Foo Fighters @ Virgin Festival 8/9/08
A generous one hour and forty-five minute set to wind up day one of Virgin Festival. The setlist covers (basically) the setlist that was heard on the recent tour, minus a few songs. All of the essentials were here, though. (some photos here) The Pretender Times Like These No Way Back Learn To Fly Cheer […]
