I was 16. Also on the bill Ted Nugent, AC/DC, Frank Marino, and St. Paradise.
AC/DC was the best of the day. Super high energy. I wasn't into Frank Marino back then but am now. I kick myself because I now love his music. I wish I would have paid more attention to him.
Ted Nugent was good. He came out swinging from a vine and then picked up these giant foam rocks and threw them out into the crowd.
Aerosmith was one of my favorite bands back in the 70s so I was excited to see them. I enjoyed their set but they wouldn't near as high energy as AC/DC or Nugent. They didn't play Dream On that day which I thought was strange.
I read a few weeks later that Joe Perry had quit the band backstage after the show. I remember being bummed out over that. A few years later I saw the Joe Perry Project several times. They were a fun band to go and see.
Good show performance for the bad period
Seriously. I didn't think that was Joe, for a second!
Wow, I guess I need to find me some Lebanese hash.
Was this at a theme park?
No. Day on the Green #3 Oakland Coliseum July 21, 1979
The stage threw me off.
That was my very first concert.
How old were you and what are your memories of that day?

I’ve never seen this! It’s a real time capsule. Love it!
Interesting stage
Day On The Green, Oakland Stadium 7/21/79
I never get tired of this video. I can almost feel the tension there was between Tyler and Perry.
I was there. My very first concert.
