LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JULY 23, 2019…I JUST WANT TO GO ON RECORD HERE AND NOW AS SAYING THAT BILL GRAHAM MIGHT BE THE GREATEST FREAKING GUY IN THE HISTORY OF BAY AREA ROCK. HE INTRODUCED THE EPIC ‘DAY ON THE GREEN’ CONCERT SERIES IN 1973 AND THE CONCERT SERIES CONTINUED UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER HIS DEATH IN 1991. ON JULY 23,1978 ANOTHER ONE OF THE MEGA CONCERTS TOOK PLACE AT THE OAKLAND STADIUM. IT FEATURED AEROSMITH, FOREIGNER, PAT TRAVERS, VAN HALEN, AND AC/DC.
TICKETS WERE 11 BUCKS !!( $12.50 IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE A CHANCE AND GET THEM AT THE DOOR)
