Now that tickets have gone on sale and many of us are going, figured we should have a thread since it technically is a show!

What are you looking forward to? What songs will they sing? Who will induct them? Will Boyd show up?

What about tailgating and pre-show fun? Let's starting planning this epic night!

Go Saturday if you can because the Browns have a game Sunday right next door so parking will be a zoo.

Wouldn’t doubt that a bit. Snagged tickets during the presale.

oh, thank you! I didn't even think of that

No one asked, but as a local I will recommend these places nearby to eat/drink:

Mabel’s on E 4th - Michael Simon BBQ
Butcher & Brewer on E 4th - microbrews & small plates
Flannery’s on E 4th - Irish pub fare
Southern Tier on Prospect - burgers/sandwiches & beer
Geraci’s Slice Shop on Prospect - NY style pizza in a 70’s style restaurant
Avoid: Blue Agave, Corner Alley
Society Lounge on E 4th - drinks only, speak easy vibe with piano/jazz music

Most realistic one posted so far

How much time do they get?
That will determine some of what can be played to begin with
Or worse yet they cut songs down like they did with Grey St for tv and that sucks

This has been my thoughts for many years if they ever got in. Mid-era fan favorite, later era LeRoi tribute, the big hit and anthem. Not what I would pick but could easily see it happening.

[cryfreedom_122]

A shortened Two Step would be so much fun for this event

Agree on the above, but will add: Goma (Sushi) and Barrio (Tacos/Burritos) are solid options as well. If you can get in and want to throw some money around, Marble Room is pretty fantastic, but it is expensive and not super quick, food is top notch though. If you are around for the weekend, there are some cool options in Ohio City (West Side Market, Great Lakes Brewery, Market Garden, amongst others). Slymons is pretty good too.

Couple of other things--if anyone bought a membership for the presale code, i believe that entitles you to a free admission to the Rock Hall museum. I would love to see Mayer induct them and then sit in on a #41 with them. Lot of potential for some guest jams.

Yep, I already booked a SAT time slot, just in case the day gets booked out before then.

[DaWarehouse418]

Does anyone know if the museum will include the 2024 inductees as of 10/19?

[wlperie]

Glad I snagged tix when they went on sale. Resale prices are nuts.

I don’t think Dave will play Crash Into Me. He absolutely should, but seems he tries to avoid it in favor of Don’t Drink and Ants (thinking back to Howard Stern when he got his arm twisted into playing it).

I also don’t think all songs will be from the Big 3.

Crush
Funny or Why I Am
Ants

[ptothec2004]

Glad I got a pair when I did. That resale is nuts

[cryfreedom_122]

Ants is the only 100% guaranteed song for this event

[DaWarehouse418]

I'll go with SMTS>>Too Much>>Ants

[eggsrsweet]

What I'm most curious about is the special guests surrounding their performance. Like who will induct/introduce them? And will they have anyone sit in? Watch them do Stay with the Lovely Ladies

John Mayer seems like the most logical pick but I wonder if there's some other wild cards that show up. Julia Roberts is a possibility -- Laura Dern introduced Sheryl Crow last year so it's definitely possible for non-musicians to be up there. Brandi Carlile would be a good one too.

would guess he would do a more recent song as some of the members being inducted had nothing to do with those.
