Here&#8217;s a set from Dale Brown that is a must-see for any classic rock fan. Scratch that, any music fan in general.<\/p>\n<p>The free Tecate Light Rock-N-Roar Concert for ticket-holders held at the end of Saturday racing by the Grand Prix of Long Beach has become one of the major events of the entire weekend. In recent years, they&#8217;ve welcomed big-name bands like Pennywise &#8211; though after police needed to come out in riot gear following that show, the acts have taken a more classic feel &#8211; and Cheap Trick to the stage.This year was no different. Fans were taken back with timeless hits like &#8220;Born To Be Wild,&#8221; &#8220;Magic Carpet Ride&#8221; and &#8220;Rock Me&#8221; from Canadian-American band Steppenwolf and lead singer John Kay.<\/p>\n<p>Kay is the only remaining original member of the group that reached impressive heights in the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s, but that hardly made a difference on Saturday night as the crowd topped off a day of racing with a tall glass of rock.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;
