Cleveland Public Hall - also known as Public Auditorium, construction started 1920, opened 1922.
Main auditorium capacity is 10,000 - second venue under the same roof called Music Hall seats 3,000.
Went to many, many shows here as a kid, years 1977 - 1981 but NONE on this list, ha.
Allman Brothers Band made this list for a show in 1991 (youtube embedded in the story.)
A nice list of legends:
Saw many many concerts at this place. Still have a lot of my ticket stubs! Had so much fun in that building! My years of attendance were from '71 to ?? can't remember. lol Probably around 1980.
Great memories of this place and downtown Cleveland in general over the years. Saw Johnny Winter/James Cotton there in 75. Zappa around 80. And was at the mentioned ABB show in 91. I believe Little Feat opened for the Brothers that night.
Thanks for posting this.

You got me wondering Heineken so I dug out my old ticket stubs and you are correct. FZ 11-10-80 at Richfield, and 11-19-81 at the Public Hall. I also found the stubs for Johnny Winter 03-29-74 and ABB Little Feat 11-23-91 at Public Hall.
I've been saying for 20 years that I'm going to mat & frame this ticket collection and hang it on a wall. They're still in a box in my closet.
My ticket stubs are in multiple places.
Stubs from about 1988 to now - I know where they are, can take a look at them if I want.
My stubs from the beginning are somewhere, just don't know where, so at least you know where yours are, ha.
