To many of us it always be called Wings Stadium. It was home to so many concerts and events that rocked our lives.

There was a time when Gary Glitter's biggest hit was played in sports stadiums around the country and the world. It all started in Kalamazoo at Wings Stadium.

Eddie Van Halen's death brought out the expected tributes on social media, but it also brought back a lot of memories for local Van Halen fans, who had seen the band numerous times at Wings Stadium.

Wings Stadium has hosted many of rock's biggest bands. Peter Gabriel hit the Kalamazoo stage just as 'Shock the Monkey' was blowing up.

One of the biggest punches to the gut since isolation and social distancing began is how many concerts had to be cancelled or postponed. Now, I can't do anything about Tool pulling the plug on their May 5th Van Andel show, however, I can try to sate your fix for live music.

You'll be amazed all over again when you hear this restored, high-quality soundboard recording of Randy Rhoads at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo with Ozzy.

The movie, "Bohemian Rhapsody" has re-ignited interest in the band Queen. One of the greatest live bands of all time, Queen played a couple shows in the late 1970's in Kalamazoo.

From Yes and Queen in the 70s to 80s hair bands like Poison and Bon Jovi, and later, Sir Elton John, Kalamazoo's Wings Stadium has hosted unforgettable concerts.

Even diehard fans of the King of Rock & Roll may not know that he released an album called "Shakin' Up the Great Lakes," recorded in Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Kalamazoo's Wings Stadium hosted Sir Elton John, one of the biggest names in music back in 2012.
