August brings a boatload of concerts and we’re out of practice. Sammy Hagar, The Stadium Tour with Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Joan Jett, ZZ Top, Reo Speedwagon and Lynryd Skynrd… All in one month!

Our Bic lighter hasn’t been lit since 2019, and we are still awkward with social interactions, so time to warm up for this month’s huge concerts with some Arena Rock. We’re digging into the 97 Rock “Live” archives to feature some of the most iconic live performances of all time from around the world and some from right here in Western New York.

There are no “time to get a beer” songs here. Only the best classic rock performances on an Arena Rock Weekend on the Mighty 97 Rock.
