mannoman Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Wow! What a great event and tribute. I remember Les Paul and Mary Ford from the 50's. They were on the Ed Sullivan show frequently. I was in awe of his talent. Wish I could be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim From Wisconsin Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Boy, I'm almost tempted to drive 7 hours to the East! For me, the Les Paul section was the coolest part of the R & R Hall of Fame when I was there a couple of months ago. There aren't too many people more important to the industry than Les Paul.Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm sure one of the music channels or something will air the show later on - I guess it will have to do for me lol.... I would have liked to see Slash and Richie play though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneG Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hopefully many of us can make it and support Eric. Sounds like a banner evening with that lineup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim From Wisconsin Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 So... Is anyone from the Board going to attend? I was checking out the ticket situation in case I would twist my own arm and drive to OH for this. It is mostly sold out, but they do have a few Mezzanine and Balcony tickets left.Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can barely even get out of bed with this virus let alone out of state but I sure would LOVE to hear your account if you manage to make it there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trindy Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Now that I know about this, I am planning to go! Still have to get a ticket, though...apparently Playhouse Square wants to sell only to "groups" online...sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Lucky you! Enjoy it Trindy! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trindy Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks......Well, I tried to get tickets today (various circumstances prevented me from making the call) but they are telling me now that they are sold out of even the SRO tickets.Then again, I am of the belief that "there is no such thing as a truly sold-out show"...I've had it proven to me in the past...so we shall see.
