bouche Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Has anyone here visited the R&R Hall of Fame? (I bet TimmyB has).A friend from work just came back from a vacation/road trip and said that it was really incredible. He suggested watching the House of Blues site for any shows you'd want to see in Cleveland and plan a trip around that to include a day or 2 at the museum.Sounds like a plan.

bradm Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Has anyone here visited the R&R Hall of Fame?I went there in 2003, with Mr. Musicface and bald guy in a blanket; we had gone to Cleveland to see Blues Traveler before going on to Deer Creek to see Phish, so took the morning after Blues Traveler to go to the museum, which is a blast, and which takes longer than a morning to really experience well.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I was there in the late 90s - either 98 or 99. It was an awesome experience and I'd love to go back. We actually drove through Cleveland on the way to Chicago the other weekend and I was dying to pop in again, but you really need a full day - or at least 2 - to experience it properly.When I was there originally, I remember seeing Neil Diamond at the nearby arena as he was in town the night we got there. Ha! Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I was there from the time they opened until they closed. I would really like to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoMack Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I think you can do it during half a hung over day between the show the night before and in time to pre-party for the show that night.That being said, standing near Rosebud is cool.

Easy for you MoMack cause there's probably little to no Panic stuff in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMack Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 And I've already seen Michael's glove and Madonna's outfits...I'm not saying its not cool - but a few hours does the trick IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I've been twice and highly recommend it. Made a special trip once from Lake Placid and it was well worth it, and another time stopped in as I was driving from Coast to Coast. If you only allow a half day you'll be disappointed, especially if they have quality temporary exhibits up while you're there (I was lucky enough to see one on Dylan's early years).is there just memorabilia on display or is there fun stuff to take part in (a la Seattle's Experience Music Project)?Pretty much just memorabilia on display, though there are some listening stations and stuff like that.I'm also a big fan of the music store that's in the museum. Awesome back-catalogue gems from all of the inductees. Nothing you can't find online, but pretty rare to see that extensive a vault in a brick-and-mortar shop these days.

MoMack Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I got a signed and numbered dead poster from spring 1995 there... took me a few days to figure out that a signed and number "19,956 of 20,000" of the second printing was well, not all that impressive. lol.

woo. Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 In all fairness momack, I remember you were in pretty bad shape that morning. You're just lucky you got the right poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I've been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 4 times and I enjoy trying to get there every 2 or 3 years. Though I have always made sure that my visit to Cleveland included a concert that I was attending in the area, if not some might not think the trip just for the hall of fame is worth it.Peace,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was in Cleveland in 98 for a Phish show followed by a moe. show in the Flats the following night. We were hoping to hit the hall o fame but it was around $20 to get in and we were all bums at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
