if you haven't heard mary weiss's singing voice OTHER than the shangri-la's, you are going to be in for a big surprise.
its like fine wine. if "leader of the pack" was teen angst at its finest hour, the mary weiss of today is "lady" defined. the nuance, the soul... she's so amazing... there really are no words to describe just how great she is.
i can't wait.

So, can someone in the know let us in on whether or not this a one-time-only happening? Are there plans for other shows in cities other than Cleveland and NYC?

Just tell them you're going to the bathroom and when you get back 2 days later, say "I'm pretty sure I TOLD you I was going to the bathroom in Cleveland..."

Lyndsey did not get these tickets for Christmas. From me, she got OSU vs. Tennessee basketball tickets & from her dad, she & her mom got Rod Stewart tickets. She did all right.

SXSW, maybe more... Mary hasn't performed in a long long time so I guess they are gonna see how these dates go before booking more.
But TK speaks the truth... Mary Weiss's voice is as soulful and seasoned as can be, gritty in all the right parts... From what I've heard of the recordings, these shows will drop dead amazing!

I stayed up there once after a show at the beachland on a NYE and it was a pretty nice hotel, but I can't remember which one. It was on Euclid though, and was about a 10 minute drive, I think? Not a bad area. I don't think it was cheap though...

I posted this in the other section but thought it should go here too as I KNOW some of you are gonna get lost going here.....ignore this advice at your own expense.......
The directions you get off the internet ARE going to get you lost on the way to the Beachland, especially because there's no sign for 152nd St. and you're going to go straight thinking S. Waterloo and Waterloo are the same street but there's a jog in the middle where it has nothing to do with either road named Waterloo. It's really, REALLY f-ing confusing if you've never been there:
- when you exit I-90 @ exit 180B you're on S. Waterloo, you go through an intersection (I think it's just one) and you come to a stop sign. To your left is the overpass for I90 - this is 152nd St. and you need to turn left. It's not marked 152nd St. at that intersection in any way. Go under the overpass and Waterloo Rd. cuts to the right. The other thing to remember: if you don't turn at that intersection, you're going to start going past a bunch of trucking and storage places which will mean you went too far. Good luck getting back as that street is a mess. Waterloo and S. Waterloo are on opposite sides of the highway - in other words, following S. Waterloo and thinking you're going to eventually hit Waterloo or get to the Beachland will not work. Just a little heads up as everyone I know gets lost there. I did for years.
Also, the Beachland has a nice jukebox in the back bar (think Norton-type records) and the food there is excellent. I also just saw The Griefs are playing afterwards in the tavern and are definately worth checking out. The Dead Boys couldn't sell out the Beachland on Halloween and I don't think I've ever seen it sell out - it's a pretty big room - so don't worry too much about getting shut out if you don't have a ticket yet. I bought my ticket this AM so I known they have them left.
One last thing - if you haven't gotten a hotel yet, the Radisson downtown is our favorite and is pretty cheap. I also seem to luck into free parking when staying there. Cleveland gets a bad rap, mostly deserved in the past, but walk down to the public square (head toward the R'N'R HOF and you'll hit it) and you won't believe how beautifully the city has been revitalized. It's impressive. (I know, I'm loooooong-winded)

Veni, vidi.........I don't remember what "they conquered" would be in Latin.
I thought you were going, TK?? You were one person I would have recognized although you probably don't remember meeting me in Chicago.
Anyway, I went, took lots of pics right down front (think I nabbed some good ones), and am TERRIBLE with setlists. I wouldn't know the names of Mary's new songs yet but she did sing some Shangri-Las' songs ("Remember (Walking in the Sand)", "Give Him a Great Big Kiss", etc.) and a few of Greg's tunes. I can tell you the show was spectacular, Reigning Sound OWNED (and played all our favorites including a few Oblivians' tunes, "Live the Life" and "Bad Man") and Mary is still a serious MILF. And she was having a blast up there.
I'll post some pictures after I go through them. I also took some film photos which I'll post later this week.

True!
Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame wasn't that great though, went there for a bit, but seeing Otis Redding's coat (the one he was wearing when he died) was pretty fucking crazy, and I like the Beatles stuff.
Mary, T&L and RS were ALL great.

The R'N'R HOF gets a bad rap but, c'mon, that place is damn cool if you get past some of the stupid shit. That big display with the letters to Rolling Stone magazine, the hate letters to the Stones from kids in the Phillipines, the display of Les Paul related stuff including how guitars evolved, the Bowie costumes, the Petty display, etc., etc. - that shit is cool as hell. They changed the Dylan display in the special hall (can't remember the big, round hall's name) to something else (what is it now??) but that Dylan exhibit was freaking awesome, like him or not. I also dug the Pink Floyd stuff in the main hall and the big punk display. That place is better than most people would like to give it credit for. And where else can a guitar junkie find THAT many kick ass guitars on display?? You guys are just being picky.

neither am i, but work is work.
AND.... really.... millions of people ARE fans of that kinda music and that's probably why that display will always be there
the rock n roll hall of fame is a crock anyway.... the museum is one thing - a few tourist dollars for the city; the organization.... don't get me started.
what the whole thing does to cleveland is a crime.... foundation and donor money for arts/music/etc all goes to the rock hall and other much more deserving local (as in clevo and ohio) arts/music organizations get really and truly screwed by having the rock hall there. i could go on, but everyone in the 216 knows what i mean

I'm in Ohio but not in the 216 and just thought the whole experience inside the museum was much better than I had been led to believe it would be. There's neat stuff in there and the politics schmolitics don't interest me at all. Every field has their beefs, I work in the medical field - we laboratory workers have ours, most of which no worker outside that arena would care to know. I've never watched an induction ceremony or anything like that and don't care much for many of the bands featured in there. I just thought the museum was cool.
The Hall is what it is to schmucks like me who just want to see neat musical stuff. Hope that doesn't offend anyone in the biz.

if you like the presentations in the rock hall, you will LOVE the country music hall of fame presentations, and the STAX museum, while small in comparison, is chock full of amazings!
the collections and memorabilia at these places are fab....
the organizations, not so
