Peter Frampton and Yes, on tour together? It’s actually not as random of a combination as you might think – it turns out that the pair have some past touring history together. Frampton and Yes played stadium shows together in 1976, and if you think about it, who didn’t play together back in those days? […]
Iron Maiden and Dream Theater touring North America this summer!
As long as we’re on the metal tip, I should share the following details with you. Thanks to my buddy Rob for the heads up on this one! Horns up! (Extra special thanks to Iron Maiden for NOT skipping Cleveland!) From DreamTheater.net: Prog rock/metal institution DREAM THEATER will spend their summer supporting Iron Maiden on […]
Armored Saint – La Raza
Saints still conquer! Especially when you’re talking about John Bush and Armored Saint. La Raza, the first all-new studio album of Armored Saint material in 10 years, will be on the shelves here in the U.S. on March 16th, and let me tell you, this album was worth the wait! “Loose Cannon” is a strong […]
Wanna buy a copy of the Cleveland radio documentary It’s The End Of The World As We Knew It on DVD?
My good friend Mike Wendt has been hard at work, preparing the highly anticipated DVD release of his well-received 2008 documentary It’s The End Of The World As We Knew It, which chronicles the history of the late great (and very popular) Cleveland alternative station 107.9 The End. The good news is that the DVD […]
Show of the Week: Two Shows Are Better Than One!
I couldn’t pick just one show for this week’s Show of the Week, so I went out on a rebellious limb and picked two! Right off the top before we get to those shows, you should know that Stephen Stills at the Kent Stage on Friday night is completely sold out (EDIT: Good news – […]
New live album on the way from Jackson Browne & David Lindley
You’ll either wince or smile at the words “new live album” and “Jackson Browne” in the same sentence. For me personally, I’m happy that Jackson is starting to dig around in the vaults with some of his recent releases. During an interview last week on Nicole Sandler’s Radio or Not program, Browne revealed the news […]
“Hey, it’s Ken Block!”
I’m so terribly delayed at keeping up with my TRBX posts. So bad, there’s already a new logo and site up for Rock Boat Eleven. For shame. I’ll blame my cat. In keeping the spirit of “Things That Mel are INCREDIBLY bad with,” I cannot retain the names of singular band members. I know I […]
Speaking of The Coliseum…
Without question, The Coliseum at Richfield was one of my favorite concert venues growing up. When it was announced that it would close, to be replaced by Gund Arena, I was very unhappy (to put it mildly). To close down a legendary venue that was barely 20 years old, and call it outdated, it was […]
Crossroads: Sold Out!
I officially have my tickets for Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010! Tickets quickly sold out within minutes after they went on sale Saturday morning at 10am Central. As I hoped, I was able to get general admission field tickets for the show. When the ticket purchase page went live, I was ready to go and after […]
Waxing Nostalgic & something to enjoy with your morning coffee.
Remember when MTV not only played MUSIC VIDEOS but there were two crazy VJs named Julie Brown running around set? Wubba Wubba Wubba. Last night at Edison’s Pub in Tremont, “The Homecoming Queen’s Gotta Gun” by the redheaded, wackier Julie Brown played at closing time. Of course, I was the only person who actually remembered […]
