Many people were unable to come to Cleveland to join in the celebration as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame officially opened. I took my camera down to 9th street and took a few pictures to share with you. The picture at the top of this page is a composite I worked up from some of those pictures. Rock Hall best angle

The media was out in full force. Lining both sides of 9th street were radio booths where different radio stations from across the country were broadcasting live throughout the day. A special platform was built just for TV cameras. broadcast boothsTV scaffolds
Many on-the-spot interviews were taking place wherever you looked. on the street interview
Inside the hall of fame wasn't the only place to be. Roaming around after the parade I took these shots "on-the-street".
