LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JUNE 5, 2019…BILL GRAHAM’S “DAY ON THE GREEN” CONCERTS WERE EPIC CONCERTS THAT REALLY WERE THE PROTOTYPES FOR FESTIVAL SHOWS. STAGED ON THE LAWN OF THE OAKLAND COLISEUM, THE DAY ON THE GREEN CONCERTS WERE A SUMMER SERIES OF CONCERTS THAT GRAHAM STARTED IN 1973 AND THEY CONTINUED UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER HIS DEATH IN 1991. ON JUNE 5, 1976 THE BAY AREA WAS TREATED TO ONE OF THESE MEGA CONCERTS.
THE LINEUP INCLUDED BOZ SCAGGS, TOWER OF POWER, SANTANA, JEFF BECK, JOURNEY, & NILS LOFGREN.
HERE’S AN ENTIRE “DAY ON THE GREEN” SET FROM SANTANA.
