Descriere Smoky, Sweaty, Rowdy, and Loud: Tales of Cleveland's Legendary Rock & Roll Landmarks - Mike Olszewski

\n \nLet's head backstage at Cleveland's legendary rock and roll landmarks as club owners, talent bookers, performers, promoters, and concertgoers share stories from the 1950s through 1990s about . . . \n \n- Where it all began: the Cleveland Arena, site of the first-ever rock concert, anywhere. \n- The hugely influential Agora, where Springsteen and so many other acts burst onto the scene \n- The Coliseum at Richfield, erected in the middle of nowhere just in time for the arrival of arena rock. \n- Monster concerts at Cleveland Municipal Stadium--including the epic, multi-year World Series of Rock. \n- Groundbreaking R&B clubs Gleason's and Leo's Casino. \n- Staid, classical Public Auditorium, where the Beatles incited a riot and Led Zeppelin grabbed a teenage audience volunteer to fill in on bass \n- Musicarnival, the circular big-top tent that alternated summer-stock with hard-rock (to the dismay of suburban neighbors). \n- Bars and clubs like the Euclid Tavern, Variety Theater, and Empire Concert Club that rocked the '80s and '90s with punk, thrash, electronica--whatever it took. \n- The renowned Swingos' celebrity hotel on Euclid Avenue, where bands remembered checking in and checking out--but nothing in-between \n- And other classic venues well worth remembering.
