Portland

This year is undoubtedly not how the Class of 2020 expected their high school days would finish. With that in mind, the folks at Aroma Joe's would like to do a little something awesome for grads to celebrate their success.

The wicked Mainer reactions from the guys on the crew are hoot to hear while we watch too. One of them jokingly encourages somebody to "Go stand in it."

ZZ brought along their futuristic melding of blues guitar and dance beats to the stage for the first of two sold-out nights.

Looks like Officer Gibbs, Officer Forbes and Hercules had a wicked awesome experience together. Maybe it will inspire The Portland Police Department to bring back our version of the Mounties.

As if the pandemic isn't nerve wracking enough, we've recently been told to watch out for murder hornets and the coming rise of cicadas. And now this...the recent sighting of monster jellyfish on the beach at Peaks Island.

While it continues to be total bummer that there continues to be a growing list of shows that won't be happening this summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is great to hear that this one isn't cancelled.

lt was extra special for Maine Clapton fans as this trip to Northeast New England was a two-night stand. The first performance happened in my hometown at the Augusta Civic Center the evening before.

Guitarist Brad Gillis of Night Ranger stepped up for the understandably tough gig and joined Ozzy for the rest of the Diary of a Madman dates. On that tour 38 years ago today, Ozzy Osbourne played his second show at the Civic Center in Portland.

The very first Maine headlining appearance from ZZ Top happened 45 years ago, two days before Dusty's 26th birthday in 1975. You can listen to to entire Lewiston show here.

42 years ago, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band made their first trip to the Civic Center in Portland. The new album Stranger in Town had only been out for just over a week.

WBLM celebrates a New England rock n’ roll legend and harmonica king. Happy 75th Birthday to Richard Salwitz. We all know him in Blimpville as Magic Dick of the J. Geils Band.

Let's enjoy this little trip through time with Steve Winwood from his days with the Spencer Davis Group as a teenager, to Traffic, to more recent photos with Eric Clapton and Michael J. Fox. We are also proud to present a super quality video of his 2014 performance of The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys in Portland.

Billy Squier was absolutely one of the greatest artists to rock the airwaves of WBLM way back when and still today. On this milestone 70th birthday, we salute him with 5 great performance videos. Thanks for the music, Mistah Squiah.

According to an announcement on the Maine National Guard Facebook page, our healthcare heroes will get a very special show of appreciation all over the state on Tuesday May 12.

Alabama Getaway was one of the the 'new' tracks spinning on the Blimp at the time. We imagine it started up the show with a roar for 8,000ish Deadheads at the Cumberland County Civic Center.

34 years ago today, the lovely Wilson sisters and company made a stop in Portland as they were riding the wave of a huge comeback.
