| Saturday 7/19 | JOURNEY The band has gone through several phases since its inception by former members of Santana. The band's greatest commercial success came in the late 1970's through the early 1980's with a series of power ballads and songs such as " don't Stop Believing", "Any Way You Want It", "Faithfully", "Open Arms", "Seperate Ways", and "Wheel in the Sky." Cheap Trick has created a substantial fan base through a hard-edged yet melodic pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. Their biggest hits to date include "Surrender", "I Want You to Want Me", "Dream Police", "Voices", "Stop This Game", "If You Want My Love", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis Presley's hit), "Ghost Town", and "The Flame." |

| Tuesday 7/22 | STEELEY DAN Steely Dan is a Grammy-Award winning American jazz fusion/Rock band centered on core members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. The band's peak of popularity was in the 1970s, when it released six albums that blended elements of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop. Their music is characterized by complex jazz-influenced structures and harmonies, literate and sometimes obscure or ambiguous lyrics filled with dark sarcasm, and their adroit musicianship and studio perfectionism. The group toured from 1972 to 1974, but in 1975 became a purely studio-based act. They disbanded in 1981, but have since reunited. They had two reunion tours in the summers of 1993 and 1994 and new studio releases in 2000, Two Against Nature, and 2003, Everything Must Go, with accompanying tours. They have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. |
