Saw This Concert

"I saw this concert and the thing I remember was the crowd reaction after his first song, he looked around like he was surprised, that night was high energy and that feed Roy's performance.



I also remember him being thin, dressed in black with a pony tail, he looked cool and different to say the least than I had expected.



When I went to work the next day my co-worker who went with her husband and my wife said guess who died? I was thinking off someone at work, she said Roy, I was thinking work and I said Roy? she said yeah Roy! I must have looked puzzled because she said Roy, you just saw him Saturday night, my jaw dropped to say the least.



He played at the front row theater, which by the way is not in Akron Ohio as the cover states, some confusing there I believe.



Anyway I will be buying this CD for my collection, I will always be able to remember that night. I am not sure but I think Carl Perkins opened for him that night, or perhaps that was when I saw Jerry Lee Lewis at the front row.



Anyway Cleveland Rocks! You name it and they have played there. Large concerts or small theaters like the Front Row that held about 2,000 people.



The Front Row is gone now, but so many great acts played there, as well as the places theater downtown. An era sad to say gone by.



This is a great CD to own. A great voice, and like Elvis, one of a kind."
