Creed
Recently reunited, the ’90s hard rock act Creed brings its Are You Ready? tour to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse at 7 tonight. The group’s over-the-top power ballads always irked critics, and the band even famously refused to give comp tickets to Plain Dealer music critic John Soeder back in the 2000s when it played Gund Arena. Soeder reviewed the concert by listening against one of the stadium doors using a plastic cup, which sounds like the best way to take in a Creed concert.
