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.
I loved every minute of this show! The band was just as excellent as they were back when I was following them. They played for three hours straight, so we definitely got a lot of bang for our buck! The House of Blues was an outstanding venue for this event and I was thrilled to finally be so close to the band that there was actual eye contact with them. Was one of the highlights of my year!
Michael can still put on a first rate 3 hour show. He never needed a break, he is an amazing performer who gives the fans what they most desire, himself. He should have been a superstar, springsteen is no stanley, it's to bad though he is such a class act who really appreciates the support his loyal fans have given him for over 30 years.His new music is still first rate. we as fans can only hope that he keeps on rockin. the thing that stands out the most is how much fun he seems to be having.
No Disappointment for this concert!!! Once again Michael Stanley put together a show that did not cheat the fans out pf any of their requests. He played for over 3 hours and covered all eras - old to new. This is a page that some of the new stars can try and duplicate!
it was really great that he played the request . there was a lot to listen to before the concert and it was very easy to find the music hall. it was a great time!
MSB Rocked...great songs, band was in the groove. Nice to see the band enjoying themselves...when the band has fun, the crowd does too!
Michael was AWESOME!! It was his best show ever!! He just gets better and better! Loved the Internet request format; we heard songs we've never heard in concert or have heard in a long time.
Was good - played for over 3 hours - however, internet request night = self indulgence for the band. There were multiple polls being taken in the bathrooms whether or not ANYONE would have requested 1/2 the songs (over 1/2 of all the songs were off of their "newer" cds) - all those 40-50 something year olds were there for the OLD stuff!!
Michael and company never fail to put on a great show. We were concerned about hearing Heartland tunes all night but that wasn't the case. It was a nice mix of all the albums and we've never heard VooDoo live before!! This band is so good, always right on and even having to stand all night with not even a railing to lean on can't dampen the great time. (Not our favorite venue). Depresses me to think of MS&R someday giving it up. Great way to start the holidays!!
Absolutely awesome! The only downside was standing for five hours. An opening act was not necessary. It would have saved an hour.
The evening was a good one. Collin Dusalt started it off with a great accoustic session. Collin always delivers! Then michael and the Resonators did what they do. I enjoyed seeing the cooresponding album covers with the song being played and as usual michael played the favorites that all NE Ohio fans longto hear. Thanks Michael.
MSB is all class and always a great time! Played all the greats along with some of his more recent songs that were good as well! The Hometown Kid does it again! Thanks!
Micheal was the best I have ever seen him. What a great show.
Awsome performance. Have seen in excess of 20 times, best show in quite some time. All north coasters, it was really well done. Played a lot of stuff haven't heard in a while as well as 2 hours plus.
I went back in time 30 yrs. and felt 18 again! So much fun! I've seen him and the band so many times over the yrs. and they still sound amazing, not like some guys who have lost their voices to partying, or bands that try to act too young. Just good music you could still count on to rock the house.
Michael Stanley Band was everything I remember even though it has been 20 years since I had seen them. They rocked the house.
