We look forward to the World Stage show each year because it is such a great collection of talent. This year was no exception! We were treated to performances by Jimi Jamison (Survivor), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Don Barnes (38 Special), Rik Emmett (Triumph), David Pack (Ambrosia), Nick Colionne, Lisa McClowry, Ides of March, Lobster Newberg, and of course, Jim Peterik (Ides of March, Survivor). They were backed up by an incredible band, with as many as 20 people on the stage at one time!

This was an awesome day of music!! This all day event was in celebration of melodicrock.com's 10th anniversary, and luckily we didn't have to stray terribly far from home to see it. They said that there were people there from 34 different states and 8 countries, although the theater only held 2200 people. The festival featured many of the lead singers from the great melodic rock bands of the 80's, and was incredible! It was great to see many of those that I had never seen before...and also several that I have seen many times.

Here's a pic of the group, after doing Night Ranger's You Can Still Rock in America:
