29 years ago today, AC/DC played the first of two sold out nights at the Civic Center. These shows are particularly historic for me, because they were my first shows with the Thundah from Down Undah.

31 years ago, Aerosmith rocked a sold out show at the Civic Center. This tour was to support their comeback album Done With Mirrors which marked the return of Joe Perry (who left the band in 1979) and Brad Whitford (who exited in 1981).

Blimpville has so many great live Black Crowes memories over the past two decades, from the first one at T-Birds in April 1990 to the last ones at the State Theatre in October 2013, for WBLM’s 40th Anniversary. Perhaps the most memorable night with the Black Crowes in Portland happened 24 years ago today

We’re celebrating another great show that came to Portland. 37 years ago today, WBLM welcomed back ZZ Top to the Civic Center on April 6, 1980. It was 3 years after they were the very first event and very first rock concert in the new building.
