PRuins6.jpg (60741 bytes) We had some to time before our drive to Detroit, so we went to the Rock and Roll Hall  of fame. If you are a band on tour, bring a flyer of your gig in Cleveland, they will let you in for free and take a band photo to document that you where there. The place is a little bit cheesy, but we had a good time watching the Jimi  Hendrix concert footage, I always forget how unbelievable he was. Yoshida and I were disappointed that we could find nothing about any of the prog rock bands of the 70's (what no Magma!?), like it never happened.   

PRuins7.jpg (69155 bytes) The last night of the tour was another pack house in Chicago. The Flying Luttenbachers opened with the Magma set, follow by Cheer Accident in the photo, a great band, go see them.
