This will be an excellent night of music and an enjoyable night! The Linsmore Tavern is extremely excited to welcome back for the first time since 2019 The Spiral Theory: Tribute to The Police U2 and REM – Pioneers of Modern Rock! The Spiral Theory will be performing a two-set tribute to these icons who were on top of the world during the 80s and 90s ushering in a new era of guitar-oriented rock with a conscience. The third set for the evening will be a set of covers that are equally energetic and crowd-pleasing from other influential rockers who followed (Foo Fighters Black Keys The Strokes etc.) This fantastic band tore the roof in their previous shows at the Linsmore to a capacity crowd so we are thrilled to bring them back again in 2022! The show starts at 9:30 pm so don’t miss it!
THE PIONEERS OF MODERN ROCK!
In 1983 The Police is selling out stadiums across North America as the world’s most popular rock band. Their opening act on their first national tour is barely known R.E.M.. In 1985 U2 plays the Longest Day festival in Milton Keynes England with R.E.M. on the same bill. Bono later stated meeting Michael Stipe on that day and their ensuing friendship was “one of the most important moments of my life.“ On the final show of the 1986 Amnesty National Tour at Giants Stadium in New York The Police symbolically take their instruments off during “Invisible Sun” and pass them over to U2 who then finish the song before starting their own set. The torch is officially passed. By 1991 with the releases of “Achtung Baby” and “Out of Time” U2 and R.E.M. had become “the most important rock bands of a generation setting a new standard for how arena rock concerts could feel and how they could communicate” – The Chicago Tribune.
