About

MICHAEL STANLEY IN CONCERT:

Heartland rocker Michael Stanley made his name in the '70s and '80s with the Michael Stanley Band, a seven-piece outfit of no-nonsense American rock and roll. The band became a huge regional success in the Midwest with chugging blue collar hits like "He Can't Love You" and "In the Heartland," setting several attendance records in the early '80s with their wildly popular arena concerts. Following the 2013 release of The Ride, Stanley hit the road once again with his new band The Resonators, earning rave reviews and drumming up excitement for his 2014 tour dates.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Intimate, tight, and a connection w/ the crowd was the essence of this great show."

"Great mix of recent work along with classic tunes from early on. His songwriting is as good as anyone in the business."

"Once again Michael Stanley put together a show that did not cheat the fans out of any of their requests. He played for over 3 hours and covered all eras - old to new."

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Michael Stanley attended college on a baseball scholarship before releasing his self-titled debut album in 1973. The album and its follow-up Friends and Legends were both produced by BIll Szymczyk — fabled producer of The Eagles' seminal 1976 album Hotel California — and featured contributions from Todd Rundgren and Joe Walsh.  In 1974, Stanley formed the Michael Stanley band, with which he would achieve his first pop chart success in 1980 with "He Can't Love You." With over 20 albums of material under his belt, Stanley continues to release music and tour with his new backing band the Resonators.

    Good show but bad sound

    by Catchingup on 4/24/17Akron Civic Theatre - Akron

    I've been a Micheal Stanley fan for over 30 years and I've seen him numerous times and the show was good and so was the band. The sound guy should be fired because the sound was unbalanced and terrible for such a good venue. It was so bad that I wore ear plugs for most of it. I seen many others holding their ears it was that bad.

    Even better than the night before

    by ShowerRockStar on 12/23/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    So my friends ask me why I would attend the same concert 2 nights in a row. My question is why not, you listen to a CD more than once. It paid to be nice to security before the show, because during the last song, THEY were the ones that told me to leave my seat and go up to the stage! What fun singing "Somewhere in the Night" so close. Michael was in a better mood than the night before, so if the same concert can get any better, the answer is yes it can! Can't wait to see MS&R again!

    Michael Stanley & the Resonators never disappoint!

    by Sharkie14 on 12/21/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    AWESOME show by Michael Stanley and the Resonators, preceded by a great performance by Donnie Iris & the Cruisers! Michael played all the favorites with a few songs that had not been played in a while which was a treat to long time fans who had not heard these tunes live in quite some time.

    Great Event

    by donnierocked on 12/20/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    We enjoyed the concert, Donnie was awesome and Michael Stanley gained a new fan. We did not enjoy the confusion with the seating and no numbers on seats. The staff was confused and kept shining lights in my face. When they turned on the house lights to show the crowd, you lost your vision and had to wait for your eyes to adjust.

    Disappointing and Boring

    by 44720MusicFan on 12/20/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    The venue is a great place to see concerts and I was really looking forward to seeing MSB for the first time in many years. I have been a fan since I was a teenage. Disappointing is the word I would use. Disappointed that he failed to get the audience into the music. Disappointed with his minimal stage show. He started every song with..."This is from the XXX album." At once point he even stated that he didn't write any new material for the album which was cover tunes so he played someone else's song. It seemed very poorly thought out and did not include a stage show or any stories for the audience. I would not recommend to see this band in concert. List to CD's for your best value.

    Michael was magnificent as always!

    by SandyLynne1 on 12/20/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    Michael Stanley has such unique and sexy voice. His music takes me back to my fond high school days of fun and romance. His new music is just as great.

    Donnie Iris/Michael Stanley

    by FunFaker on 12/19/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    Excellent Holiday tradition for Michele and I. Donnie Iris is a class act, takes the time to talk with us afterward. All around nice guy. Michael is always great. Very nice time, recommend to all.

    Never disappoints

    by ShowerRockStar on 12/19/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    Let's put it this way, I don't jump on an airplane, travel over 1200 miles, to hear just anybody. I always think before a show I'm not doing this again, but walk away thinking when's the next time I can hear them. Michael, Bob,Danny, Marc Lee, Paul (you can never have enough cowbell- Ha!) and the rest of his group will give you a night of music that rocks and a show that I can't get anywhere else. Worth the price of admission? You bet! And it's worth the price of a plane ticket too!

    Was Excited

    by Mystery2u on 12/19/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    Donny Iris was awesome, Got everyone moving. Michael Stanley could have been more upbeat. Only a few people dancing. Didn't know 90% of the songs, and was a fan back in the day. His band is very talented. Would recommend Donny Iris concert.

    Cruise & Resonate!

    by SgtLaura on 12/19/16Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park Hard Rock Live - Northfield

    Donnie is still gritty, gutsy and got it! Always delivers a tremendous experience! Michael renders his philosophical repertoire like a sumptuous seven course dining experience plus! These 2 are unbelievable and I am proud to be a Pulaski, Pa girl supporting Donnie & The Cruisers since the early 80's and even back to Rapper days. I live in Ohio now for 30 years across the border in Youngstown and proud of Michael Stanley and how he cares about his town and his roots. Love you, my local boys! Laura

    Michael Stanley & the Resonators, Awsome as always

    by Sharkie14 on 9/8/16Packard Music Hall - Warren

    Michael and Company put on an amazing show (as usual). The venue was beautiful (though a bit of a drive for me). I had an great balcony seat, front row next to stage right. I had an unobstructed view, was very comfortable and enjoyed the show a lot!. I heard from friends on the floor that it was quite hot (it appears the building needs an A/C update).
