Which Cleveland stadium hosted the Rock Hall's all-star opening concert in 1995?

Cleveland Stadium hosted the Rock Hall’s all-star opening concert in 1995.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum was dedicated in Cleveland on September 1, 1995. The following night, September 2, the “Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” brought a remarkable multi-generational lineup to Cleveland Stadium, also known as Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Performers included Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, Al Green, James Brown, Iggy Pop, John Fogerty and John Mellencamp. The concert was staged as a grand celebration of the museum’s opening and was televised by HBO.

A common mix-up is confusing the venue with later Cleveland stadiums. Cleveland Stadium stood beside Lake Erie until it was demolished in 1996. Progressive Field opened nearby in 1994 for baseball, while FirstEnergy Stadium replaced Cleveland Stadium on part of the site in 1999. Rocket Arena is a separate downtown venue.
