Poster Of The Week
Procol Harum 1968 Cleveland Concert Poster
Procol Harum performed at the Cleveland Grande on November 15, 1968 in support of their 2nd album "Shine On Brightly". The Hempstead Incident was the opening act.
The Cleveland Grande is currently known as the Agora Theatre. It first opened on March 31, 1913 as the Metropolitan Theatre. By 1932, the venue had turned into a vaudeville/burlesque house hosting "hoofers, comics and strippers." Later, the venue became known as the Bijou Theatre. From 1951–1978, the theater offices were home to radio stations WHK (1420 AM) and WHK-FM/WMMS (100.7 FM); the theater itself was known as the WHK Auditorium. In 1968 the name was changed to the Cleveland Grande but by 1969 it was changed back to the WHK Auditorium. The building has hosted thousands of rock and roll concerts from the 50's to today.
Each week we feature a new poster as the Poster Of The Week and it will be on sale for only $10.00
