One of the best nights of my life :)
An awesome show, my expectations were high, she exceeded them. Super talented!
4th time seeing them live, 10/10 show from the front row 🤩
They melted faces like they always do
This show was simply fantastic. They played music from their various albums and they rocked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!
The band was great, the music was amazing, and the effects were phenomenal, all of that would make it a 5/5 but the fans were a different story. I had VIP bands and was able to get to the front of the show but once the barricades were taken down I was pushed, stepped on, elbowed and shoved by several people trying to take my spot. The show was memorable and one I will cherish as it was my first concert. All Time Low did a fantastic performance where you could tell they put their all into it and loved what they were doing.
Fantastic time. The Witches are incredible. They will be a huge band.
Had a blast, caught the sound check and that was really cool. The band was interacting in their humorous and charming manner.Then as I was walking around The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before the set, i ran into Jim McPherson on the escalator. SUPERCOOL!!!The show itself was on point aside from Driving on 9 getting rained out. Kim was too nervous to continue but to be fair the electric equipment was drenched. They tempted being electrocuted for several songs.
Awesome show! I drove from Syracuse - it was totally worth it!
Fitz was so high energy! Performed a lot of great sounding music. Could've listened all night. It was a fantastic concert at a great venue.
Great show!! Supports the stop in human trafficking in Cleveland and tickets were supper affordable! 12 bucks wow! The 4 opening bands were really good and Modern Electric killed it as always. Even had a cool mid play guitar jump😆
First time seeing this amazing band live. The concert was incredible.
Thx Rodney.. Bud loves his book..
Great show, great songs, wonderful stories. Autographed our wedding song!
Rodney was fabulous! So much talent! A wonderful musician, songwriter & storyteller!
Rodney Crowell: 10/21/22 “When in Cleveland do as Clevelander’s do, head on over to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and fulfill a bucket list artist’s performance. Official Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame sponsor Union Home Mortgage had flown us out for a week of training at the exact time to catch a Rodney Crowell concert. It was the 9th of the 21 show ‘Word For Word Tour’ featuring the 72 year old artist whose life story brought him from living in a car to playing in EmmyLou Harris’ band mid ‘70’s to writing 15 number ones (in addition to Bob Seger’s ‘Shame On The Moon’, a #2). Concert seating was general admission so arriving early was crucial to secure the best possible seats. We arrived two hours early taking front place in line. Immediately prior to opening time, an individual who I thought to be a fan jumped the line all the way up front and addressed Security. It was Claudia Church, Crowell’s wife assuring them who she was and their situation, ‘The fans are accosting him’. Rodney had somehow entered via the main building’s entrance! With Security stepping in, Rodney breezed past us mumbling,
‘I go where ever they tell me to go’. Our entrance to the 164 seat theater revealed an intimately set stage with a single acoustic guitar and sitting stool, twin floor monitors (center), and stage L, a reading lamp, table, and producer styled chair monogrammed ‘WORD FOR WORD’. Knowing the layout of the land and hustling up the four flights of escalators rewarded us with the front row exact center two seats. Rodney took the stage just after 8 p.m. for a 13 song / 1 hour and 38 minute set which also included two portions of readings from his autobiographical book. Opening the set were ‘Highway 17’, ‘Jewel Of The South’, and ‘Grandma Loved That Old Man’, songs written directly related to his childhood. Rodney setting the tone for the evening, ‘There’s a lot of spoken word involved in what I’m going to be doing tonight. It’s a mixed media thing, the songs, or story, I’m going to be reading from the book and I thought I’d start with that.’ Through the evening long ‘story and song, song and story’ series he brought us through how he got into the music business, insight into his days with EmmyLou, and the impact his good friend Guy Clark had on his life. Oh, and there was the occasional shameless plug for his book (perfectly sized for grandmother’s coffee table) mixed in: ‘Christmas is coming and the truth is this might make a nice present, that’s what I’m gonna say.’ Song highlights included ‘Making Memories Of Us’ recorded by Keith Urban, Crowell telling us the back story of how he wrote the song as a Valentine’s gift to his wife Claudia. Then there was Waylon’s ‘Ain’t Living Long Like This’, which Crowell wrote from a jail cell —a penalty for multiple offense dog leash violations, Rodney stopping mid-song because of a mistuned G string and restarting from the top. ‘After All This Time’ was perhaps the most heartfelt of the evening, the seasoned artist and his well worn Gibson mirroring perfectly the ageless lyrics of the classic song. My special moment was a brief conversation and photo op with the artist in which I mentioned my concert excursions and how we had come in from South Carolina. He asked us a little about Abbeville, wished us safe travels home, and mentioned that he hoped to see us again down the road! Review and photo by DAve (Concert #717)
Beautiful weather and a fun concert. Both bands were fantastic and Jimmy Eat World had lots of energy.
Amazing evening on the shores of Lake Erie, as GBV played a deep, 2.5-hour set in the shadow of the Rock Hall, where Robert Pollard should be inducted!
Fabulous show. Hope Saw is recovering quickly.
The Rock Hall could have provided some sun for the band.
Hope the tour goes well.
Bully was incredible!!! A can't miss band!
