The band’s peak moment came on Aug. 25, 1982. That’s when Michael Stanley Band kicked off four shows in six days, drawing 74,404 fans to Blossom Music Center, a feat that was unheard of.
Michael Stanley Band still holds the attendance record at Blossom Music Center, set 40 years ago in 1982. CLEVELAND, Ohio – On Aug. 17, 1976, the Michael Stanley Band made its debut at Blossom Music Center with a modest set opening for Loggins and Messina. It was only the beginning.
“No one’s going to break that record,” said Barry Gabel, senior vice president of marketing and sponsorship sales, during “CLE Rocks Presents…Michael Stanley’s Record-setting Blossom Concerts” held at Music Box Supper Club on Thursday, Aug. 25. The packed audience – a few people went to every one of those concerts in 1982 -- shared their memories of Michael Stanley, who passed away in 2021. One fan recalled Stanley calling him as the fan was in his hospital bed as a teenager recovering from cancer.
“Considering the sold-out MSB Blossom shows, there is a feeling of accomplishment and a little disbelief that I was part of a phenomenon of such magnitude, in that the record still holds to this day!” Gismondi wrote in a letter. “I am so fortunate to say, ‘Yes, I was there!’”
