Whoa! Where was this show? Akron’s Firestone High School (alma mater of fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chrissie Hynde, as well as Rachel Sweet and the Black Keys) hosted Aerosmith on a triple bill on this date in 1974. They wouldn’t be playing venues like these for long.Poster courtesy of Raw Sugar Studio

Foreigner had become a hit machine by the time they played the Richfield Coliseum on this date in 1981.Poster courtesy of Raw Sugar Studio
1986
Seen by many as America’s first real punk band, the Ramones had a greater following on stage than record sales. Their groundbreaking first album finally went gold 38 years after its 1976 release. It didn’t stop them from being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Poster courtesy of Raw Sugar Studio
