The Vote For Change Tour was was a major rock and roll event for all of Ohio - on the first night Magic was happening in Philly, later recreated in Toldeo, Columbus, Cincinattii and Cleveland. Toledo featured Pearl Jam, with surprise appearences by Neil Young, and Peter Frampton. The Springsteen roadshow featured a re-energized R.E.M. playing tons of classics as well as new material from Around The Sun. Here in Cleveland they added the very appropriate "Cuyahoga" to the set. Magic was had when Mr. Springsteen came out to join the band in takes on "Bad Day" and "Man On The Moon".
At the end of the tour, WBWC was able to simulcast the finale live from Washington D.C., featuring all the tour members and many other special guests.
