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.
A great show. Eight times i've seen him (first since i was 22, i'm now 50), and just as good as i remember. hope to see his show again. total flashback to when i was young and dumb. Too many great songs to pick out one highlight, heard some newer songs i hadn't heard before, really great music! Would advise anyone to catch his show, you wont be sorry.
This band still rocks with the best of them. Constant music and entertainment for over 2 hours. Outstanding musicians. I just love them and see them every chance I get.
Another top notch concert from Michael Stanley and the Resonators. Thank you for an enjoyable night of great music! Even more fans dancing in their seats, clapping along this time. The band really connects with the fans.
Michael Stanley still has an amazing sound and following!!
Excellent concert as always! 6th time seeing MSB in 8 months! Ready to see them again!
I have been an MSB fan for as long as I can remember and the drive from NC to Warren to see him again was so worth it! The cherry on top was that we were able to introduce a new generation of fans to his music by taking my nieces to their first MSB concert! So many wonderful memories are attached to the music of MSB and it was truly a thrill to see them perform. They look and sound great! The show was so much fun, filled with energy and hometown pride. Can't wait to make another trip "up North" to see them again. Please have more MSB t-shirts available next time :)
I have been listening to Michael Stanley since I was a teenager. It doesn't matter what band he was with or is with... He never disappoints! #hometownproud
Show was great and seats were reasonably priced. Enjoyed the sound and how intimate the venue was for the show
Excellent show as always. Played a great mix of the older hits, and newer material. Great seats, and comfortable. Nice place to catch the show. Sound quality was good, and venue was easy to get in and out of. Glad i decided to drive the hour East to see the show.
I am a long time fan of MSB but never had the opportunity to see MSB live or Michael Stanley and the Resonators live. My husband just came along for the ride. After Tangier, my husband is now a big fan! Song setlist was a good mix. Many MSB songs and some not but equal quality. Tempo was good. Fans truly enjoyed the show. Many clapping and singing along. We had a great time. Wish now we would have attended earlier years but we will be attending next year for sure. Nice to see Tom, Bob and Dave there with Michael and the rest of the band. Five stars Michael!! My husband bought tickets for Packard Music Hall when we came home from Akron that night! The band is right up there with Rock's finest! Highly recommended!
Always a great show to see both of our hometown rock legends but I consistently find that even though I generally find Michaels catalog of songs better then Donnie's, Michael plays his songs too slow and he never seems to be very excited by his own music. And it drives me crazy when he plays let's get the show on the road way slow and almost like it's his slow acoustic version without the unforgettable Stagepass intro when it's the rockingest song that he does and should be the encore. I love rock and I love a lot of his songs but I generally get bored watching them. I think maybe they have too many musicians so it comes off too precise, produced and polished. I also love Jonah Koslin and Michaels rendition of nothings going to change my mind was a train wreck. Donnie on the other hand is always smiling, happy and gracious and his vocals are still nothing short of phenomenal!
Second row center…. I just LOVE this venue. Michael Stanley and band sounded great. Thank you for a good night.
Great show, he still has it. Played a lot of old stuff great audience participation. He made everyone feel good.
FOURTH TIME SEEING MICHAEL STANLEY THIS YEAR AND HE PUT ON ANOTHER OUTSTANDING SHOW. GOT PICTURE WITH HIM BACKSTAGE AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE AN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT. FOURTH ROW SEATS WERE AWESOME. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN AT TANGIERS IN MARCH. FAVORITE SONGS ARE LOVER AND SPANISH NIGHTS AND HE ALWAYS PLAYS BOTH.
The concert was great, Really enjoyed the Rocksino! It is becoming a Holiday tradition for my sister and I!
Great show. Great seats. Recommend it all to everyone.
Always a good show. What more can I say. For those of us that grew up with Michael Stanley, we understand the the magic.
The Hard Rock Rocksino is an outstanding venue for entertainment. There really is not a bad seat inn the house as it is only about the size of a high school auditorium. As for the concert itself, MSB was very good and we enjoyed their show (played a lot of his older stuff). As for Donny Iris, nope, ruined the experience. Sound was awful, no energy, etc. I would not go to see him again even if it was free.
Michael Stanley was amazing as always. One of his best shows. Loved his two new songs. Donnie Iris was also incredible. Can't believe his energy and showmanship for being in his 70s!
Donnie was awesome !!!!! Michael seams a little depressed to me. He played long and sounded great but needed to perk it up a bit. I really wish he would have sung strike it up.
