MSB was such a part of growing up in Cleveland in the 70s and 80s. I live in LA now and heard "Lover" coming out of my neighbor's window... yep, found out he was from Cleveland too!
@Oldschoolhockey91 Much love from a CLE boy for Buff. Love the city of Buffalo, ur boys the Goo Goo Dolls, and the Anchor Bar. Def root for the Bills when you guys aren't playing the Browns. Give ya credit for wanting to call CLE home- everyone (myself included) is leaving. Go Tribe, Browns (and Bills)
Detroit native, worked in Toledo, Cleve rocks, nothing to be ashamed of. Corporate America is fucking the middle class in the ass, but we won't give in easily.
from a Rock 'n roller from way back.....I can tell you...that no one....I mean nobody...ever .........and I mean.....EVER......in rock history played tighter....more tenacious.....and hotter than these gies in their heyday....and I've seen 'em all.....!!!
These gies were like majic and Had ESP and a connectiveness and intertwining like no band I have ever seen......Agora cols ohio....1983.....
no thnx 2 assholes like obama, the American working class lifestyle depicted in this video is but a memory! i'm from chicago, but i've been to cleveland, and it's been great. and although chicago's got a rich musical heritage (except for smashing pumpkins & that faggot-wigger eminem), i can say that i also love what ohio has given us: msb, raspberries, glass harp, james gang & even devo (u gotta admit, they're original) to name a few! from chicago to cleveland, peace!
Grew up as a 12 year old loving this music as much as Billy Squire, Loverboy, Nightranger, and then realized that Michael Stanley "stood up" to a major record label and refused the national deal, then got crushed by that label pulling the tour bus, promotion for the band(label guys calling the next city and telling them to stop playing the songs) and Kevin going to L.A. to do his "Moonlight on Water" song......but this is his best stuff....you guys are Cleveland!
This is my favorite Michael Stanley Band song. Great band. Great concerts. Great memories. I actually met Pat Benetar at a Michael Stanley concert at the Youngstown Agora in '81. She was playing the next night (sat.) and she and her husband Neil came to see him. I was told who she was, went over, introduced myself, and they graciously invited me to join them at their table for a drink and to watch the rest of the set. Very cool.
Great song----wanted it played at our wedding along with Runnin' back to Saskatoon but the disc jockey had the wrong date--Anyways "My Town" sounds better each time--thanx for puttin' it on---it should have gone higher on the charts--notice the great back rhythm..
Oh man, between the Agora and Richfield Coliseum, when those places had concerts, they were packed houses in the 70's and 80's. But that's because Cleveland was good to the great bands that they scheduled to play there.
@Grapes428 I haven't seen the term "Richfield Coliseum" in ages. (I've driven by it a few times.) My cousin went to see Air Supply there as part of her graduation present.
Thank God for gpater2, and TG for YouTube, and TG for MSB. I grew up in Westlake and was raised on Cleveland ROCK! The best days ever! Just can't stand the weather in Ohios' north coast. BUT - CLEVELANDERS KNOW GREAT ROCK AND ROLL! To all you rappers, and hip hoppers - - - good-bye - your stuff won't last.... THIS ROCK WILL LIVE FOREVER!
I didn't even realize these guys were from Cleveland. I was born there but have been living in New Haven, CT for the past 10 years. Cleveland is still home to me, especially since the rest of my family is there. I have this song on a CD "Cleveland Indians Jacobs Field Era". I love this track! :)
I remember in my teens, having a blast watching MSB at Blossom, sitting on the lawn, getting drunk on White Mountain Wine Coolers they sold there in these white plastic cups. It was a perfect 80s concert experience.
Awesome. I have the tape if any of you guys want to see the live performances from blossom. I'd upload them. From what my dad tells me MSB sold out Blossom like tons of times. Awesome band and i'm only 19!!!!
Not only did they sell out Blossom multiple times, they'd sell it out like three nights in a row! At the time, I believe that was a record for the venue. I dunno if it still stands or not, though. I believe the same thing would happen when MSB would play at Richfield Coliseum.
this is one of my moms favorite bands. when i was little it use to always be on the radio, so i grew to like it. i saw this on my home page and was like, "oh, this looks familiar" so i watched it. it reminds me of when i was a little kid again, which was only a few years ago, because im not old. but yeah. thanks. = )
we've had great bands that came out of ohio, it's nice when someone posts a video like this. it takes everyone back.thank you for posting this video, it reminds me of growing up in youngstown when times were better.
Drew Carey should have used this for the theme song of his old TV show. instead of Cleveland Rocks. Would have been a nice gesture to a fellow Clevelander...
Yeah, MMS, once home of the buzzard, now just home of shit music. Whatever happened to good music played on instruments and great vocals? MSB, you'll always rock!
This is one of the best rock and roll songs of all time. I never get tired of hearing it. Cool video, too. Damn, I wish I could time travel back to this era and just re-live the 80s, then when 1990 hit, just go back to the 80s again and do that for the rest of my life! Music, style, and for the most part, television just went down the tubes once the 90s came along and we've never recovered :-( Although, thank God for the internet so we can see gems like these.
i grew up in lorain,not cleveland but close enough i guess so i have a soft spot too. i remember hearing this song on wmms when i was a kid.makes me home sick.
i live in cleveland and you dont even wanna know the shit music wmms plays now. now wncx clevelands classic rock is the only good station micheal stanley is a disk jockey on it ive seen him in person a few times.
I dont know why this song brought me to tears, I guess because Q102 in Cincinnati played this having a insert of Cincinnati in the song even though its about Cleveland.
Yeah, they did a special mix for each major market, and sent it out to radio stations. There was a documentary done about 8 or 9 years ago where Michael Stanley said they had to find the right place to slip in the name of the city where that particular promo single was going to go to. That's must have been an interesting day in the studio. Kinda like how national TV personalities used to do station ID's for each city's network affiliate.
This ought to be played in Lansing, Michigan, home of the Michigan State Spartans, in honor of Tom Izzo and his basketball team. Good Luck to you against UNC!
remember walking up the ramp in Municipal? Browns-Tribe-Cavs at Richfield. John Adams on the drum-Dawgpound with Hanford and Frankie-Cory Snyder in right field-nuff said
I love your screen name. Got his autograph at signings at Chapel Hill Mall. My brother is at the Indians fantasy camp and Cory is there. He's on Carlos Baerga's team. This is my brother's second year participating. Cleveland Rocks and so does MSB!
My mom is a huge MSB fan, and i grew up listening to it, and i love it too. Im in college, and im starting to get my roommate hooked on it. I will always love Cleveland!!
This video makes me proud to be a lifelong west sider. Michael Stanley, an alum of my Alma Mater, Rocky River High School. I had to watch this video as our Brownies are ready to take off this season! GO BROWNS!! Browns and Buckeyes in 08!!
I first heard of MSB in the fall of 1977 at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fl., when someone with university's program board cued it up on the sound system at a school function. The album was StagePass and I couldn't wait to buy it myself. I still have the original vinyl, and the CD now. Not too many people from down south know about them, and I take great pleasure in spreading the word. Great stuff!
Gahanna, Ohio. Grew up in Austintown, Ohio and went to Hiram College. Love MSB. Remember their concerts at the Struthers Field House and Metroplex in Warren. Memories...
This is one of the best songs of 1983. I remember that this song used to have a version for some cities. I lived in Pittsburgh in 1983 and during the song they used to yell Pittsburgh during the song. I know the band made several other versions for other cities. How cool!!!!!!!!!
Yes Wild, I think it was WDVE that played the "Pittsburgh" version. Come to think they may have been the ONLY station in town that even played MSB. They really were great-I love Falling In Love Again(a bit sappy, but great)
GO TRIBE. GO BROWNS. GO CAVS. Our Town. Sokowlowskis-Slumans Deli- Murray Hill-Walkin up the ramps at Municipal-Herb Burger-Stadium Mustard-Daffy Dan-Bernie-Ozzie-Cory Snyder-Rico Carty-John Adams-World B. Free- 75-Colisiuem-D'Poospain-East Side-West Side- Jacobs Field-95-97-The Pain- As much as it hurts we LOVE IT.
I was raised in youngstown grew up to this hotfm 101 I grew up in Boardman Class of 83 this song brings alot of great time back I now live in Missiouri been looking for these songs I would like to Thank whoever made this happen I have tried to find these songs they are a part of all of us. I wish they would have made it big they should have.Was the best concert I have ever been to wish I could find my north coast t shirt Thanks Frank
I was glad to hear this song myself. I graduated from Mooney - Class of 84'; I have always lived in Boardman, and still love it. Those were great times in Youngstown rock'n with the MSB.
Yes they were good times.I was Class of 83 Boardman So how is the big town of boardman doing?I still have family there but dont get back much to see them.
you are so very welcomed, it's so cool to hear everyones responses. Made it worth the hours trying to figure out how to convert and get it on here. I know what your saying, I now live in Texas and it seems when ever I get homesick I listen to MSB
Yes thanks for taking the time it was worth it I wish I new how to do it but not that smart at this computer stuff lol I understand about sometimes being homesick but it does bring back good times hearing these songs thanks again Frank
My fondest memories of my youth, MSB Concerts at Blossom Music Center and The Richfield Coliseum, You guys were the best, listened to you every night while away at College
Here is some news I got today from line level music for MS fan's. we are in the process of compiling a new DVD release, Michael Stanley's Bootleg Videos, which will consist of previously unavailable live performances and backstage antics from 1974 to the present! And of course, Michael Stanley is always busy in the studio working on his next release - we'll keep you posted
This is a great song that has been redone as a new single released by the Povertyneck Hillbillies. This is a country/rock band from Western Pa. They are the offical band of the Pittsburgh Steelers so this song is played often on the raido stations . you can hear them here on YouTube. My in-laws used to live near Cleveland in the late 80's. I always had a fun time when I was there.
I live on the West Coast now but whenever I used to fly into Cleveland, I'd play this song on the Walk-man while looking at the East Side, West Side scenery below. Thanks for posting the video.
Ohio in general is going through a rough time. We are one of four or five states in which the economy never rebounded. Things are tough here right now everywhere. The best things in Ohio are the Buckeyes, Browns and Indians.
I've been gone for many years but their is still no place like home. Cleveland is a great place and they love their city. Look at the Dawg pound and their is a reason it's the home of rock and roll.

Yes Wild, I think it was WDVE that played the "Pittsburgh" version. Come to think they may have been the ONLY station in town that even played MSB. They really were great-I love Falling In Love Again(a bit sappy, but great)

They play it sometimes on the "electric Lunch." I love this song.
kshafer191 3 years ago
You are correct. It was WDVE. I know this band was from Ohio and I believe there are Cleveland and other local cities recorded.
HOW COOL

Michael was born on March 25 you twit. Today is his 60th. You probably wish your dad was born 12 days later.
daorocks 3 years ago
Sorry! The Cleveland magazine said he was born on the 13th. I'm sorry I got the facts wrong.
danlover2009 3 years ago
Besides, twit, I was only 12 days off. It was still the same month and year. Besides, did you meet him? I did. Bite me.
danlover2009 3 years ago
Did your dad go to a sold-out concert? Mine did. And you can't say he wasn't born in Cleveland, I just checked his website.
danlover2009 3 years ago
Me and my Dad are HUGE fans! In fact, me and Michael are both from C-Town! My dad was also born on 3-13-48, same day as Michael!

Here is some news I got today from line level music for MS fan's. we are in the process of compiling a new DVD release, Michael Stanley's Bootleg Videos, which will consist of previously unavailable live performances and backstage antics from 1974 to the present! And of course, Michael Stanley is always busy in the studio working on his next release - we'll keep you posted

This is a great song that has been redone as a new single released by the Povertyneck Hillbillies. This is a country/rock band from Western Pa. They are the offical band of the Pittsburgh Steelers so this song is played often on the raido stations . you can hear them here on YouTube. My in-laws used to live near Cleveland in the late 80's. I always had a fun time when I was there.

Ohio in general is going through a rough time. We are one of four or five states in which the economy never rebounded. Things are tough here right now everywhere. The best things in Ohio are the Buckeyes, Browns and Indians.

I've been gone for many years but their is still no place like home. Cleveland is a great place and they love their city. Look at the Dawg pound and their is a reason it's the home of rock and roll.
