CLEVELAND, Ohio - Summer may belong to the young guns in music, but this is a great time for the veteran gunslingers, with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Bob Dylan and Mavis Staples and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsay Buckingham and Christine McVie stopping in Northeast Ohio.
Bob Dylan, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3, E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall. What makes this particular Dylan appearance so intriguing is the opening act, R&B and gospel singer Mavis Staples. On the surface, the music from the two icons couldn't be more different, with Dylan's sometimes (OK, usually) unintelligible, almost sotto voce mumble and fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Staples' vibrant and still powerful contralto. Separated by only two years - he's the kid at 76, and she's two years older - each has earned legend status not only for their music but for their activism. Tickets, $55 to $125, are available at the box office, online at ticketmaster.com and by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and 330-972.7570.
Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3, Hard Rock Rocksino. When McVie finally returned to Fleetwood Mac in 2014 after leaving in 1998, the magic that made the band one of the biggest acts in the '70s resurfaced. But something else happened: McVie reignited her passion for. She and Buckingham released an album this past summer, "Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie,'' that also featured drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist (and McVie ex) John McVie as the rhythm section. Fellow singer Stevie Nicks wasn't available for the recording sessions, according to Rolling Stone, so could have been a Fleetwood Mac CD became a duets album. What's interesting is that while there's no denying the DNA, this really is not new Fleetwood Mac music. The Rocksino show will feature lots of it, plus some of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band's classics. Tickets, $75 to $169.50, are available at the box office, online at ticketmaster.com and by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
