I would pay three bucks to see Bob Seger and MC5. Kick out the jams.
For three dollars today, the Silver Bullet Band is not included.

The Cleveland Landmarks Commission’s list of buildings designed by architect Nicola Petti includes the State Theatre in Toledo. The design was done in 1927.
The front of the State Theatre had a remarkable resemblance to that of the LaSalle Theatre in Cleveland, which was also designed in 1927 by architect Nicola Petti. I think he might have used the same plans for both houses. If anyone from Toledo wants to know what the city lost with the demolition of the State, they can go to Cleveland where the LaSalle is still standing.
