It’s going to be a big weekend for classic rock and pop in the Bay Area.
First up is Air Supply at the historic Mountain Winery on Sept. 6. So, that means that the Airheads (the moniker of choice for Air Supply’s very passionate fanbase) will turn out in force to hear the pop-rock duo — consisting of guitarist-vocalist Graham Russell and lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock — perform such late-’70s and early ’80s winners as “Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love”, “Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love,” “Even the Nights Are Better” and, best of all, the amazing showstopper “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.”
Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets start at $67, mountainwinery.com.
Then REO Speedwagon rolls into Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View for a co-headlining bill with Train on Sept. 7. The latter is a Bay Area favorite, of course, but the former is the one with a catalog rich with such classic rock radio staples as “Time for Me to Fly,” “Keep On Loving You” and “Ridin’ the Storm Out.”
Showtime is 6:25 p.m. and tickets start at $48.65, livenation.com.
Finally, San Jose’s own Doobie Brothers are set to take over Toyota Pavilion at Concord on Sept. 8. It’s your chance to see this still-excellent live band do the 4-0-8 proud as it performs such Top 40 hits as “Listen to the Music,” “China Grove,” “Black Water,” “Long Train Runnin’” and “Jesus Is Just Alright.”
Showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets start at $34, livenation.com.
