The first BIG act I remember seeing was Bad Company. This show was at the Richfield Coliseum which was south of Cleveland...out in the middle of nowhere but close to routes 77 & 271. We would come up through route 303 which was a county road lined with trees and wooded areas and the all of a sudden..there stood the Coliseum like a huge castle!
I remember having good seats, on the floor...near the stage. The show was on May 15, 1979. The opening act was Frank Carillo.
I would see more shows in this venue. The big hall concert event will later be replaced by smaller venues for me, but as a first experience...this was a good start.
The past adventures of a music nut from northeast Ohio. An attempt to list all the musical acts I have seen thus far while on this planet. I was able to attend shows in my hometown, Youngstown, as well as Cleveland and/or Pittsburgh. Shows listed won't be in any chronological order (for the most part), but will allow me to always remember the places/acts I have been & seen. Since migrating west to Arizona, shows seen there will be listed as well.
