Went to so many concerts here…..just seeing that opening shot of outside the old stadium brought so many memories back…..I was 17 when I saw Pink Floyd put on animals….it was amazing….along with all of the other World Series of Rock concerts…..we loved them all.
Great, priceless footage. I was too young to attend these shows, but wmms sponcered them and you'd start hearing commercials on the radio. These shows were no vans warped tour, all of the bands at every show were top notch talent, and the old lady on the lake was the perfect venue.
I WAS THERE IT WAS THE FIRST CONCERT I EVER WENT TO THIN LIZZY, SCORPIONS, JOURNEY, AC/AC, AEROSMITH AND TED NUGENT I STILL HAVE THE STUB AND CONCERTS SHIRTS
I was there too ! Somebody winged a whiskey bottle at Ted ! He dodged it ! Stopped the show till the guy was seriously beat ! Said 1 more thing thrown and we are walking off ! Great show !!! Still have my stub ! Op was in the air !
Wow, we were at the Peter Frampton Live tour in 1977. The Cars were the opening act and they got booed off the stage! Also, Bob Seger and Rick Derenger! Hot as hell that day!
Some people in the comments are saying this was 1974. I was born in 1974. After many years of observation and the older I get, the more apparent a painful truth becomes. People are having less and less fun as time moves on. Concerts like this from the 70's, 80's, and 90'slook out of this world energetic and magical. The biggest concert I ever went to that was similar to a concert in an outdoor stadium like in this video was October 3, 1992 Metallica/Guns N' Roses, Motorhead, Body Count at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Completely sold out too. I am hoping some day more of these bands will take the initiative to release the pro shot concert footage of these massive concerts like in this video. It seems very rare to find concert footage of festival type concerts like this where there are several different bands performing.
I was there as well ! My very first concert ! .. I was a young 14 yrs old .. when it was safe to go to shows with friends ! We would come the day before .. spend the night and be first in line to run across the field to get in front ! Great memories . Greetings from Akron Ohio
Was J. Geils Band already had House Party out then, i’ll have google but cool hearing a memory like that Debi Tomlinson, I was only couple years old but already a fan by the time I was 6👍🏻
@@jaybirdhoffman2876 Yes. Full House was recorded Live at the Cinderella Ballroom in April '72...& I was there. Was a Jr in High School & went with older friends. (Dr Hook was backup). They recorded 2 nights. J Geils tore the paint off the walls.
for sure!!! i was there too, also for the Stones, ELO and many more. if i ever sober up, i'll remember, and i think Eddy Money was a warm up band at one of them
Went to the WSR to see the Stones, Kansas, Peter Tosh in 1978. Also saw ELO, Journey, Foreigner at the WSR in 1978. That spaceship stage ELO had was awesome.
1:36 I remember when Stroh's cans looked like this. 1:42 and Stroh's had bottles like this. In 1974 I was 12, I didn't make it to this show. 1977 through 1979 I remember carrying our own coolers into the stadium for shows. Too many numbers, I need a beer.
I think that's Santana so I went to this show. Crosby Stills Nash and Young were the headline act. I suppose its statistically a waste of time to try and find myself in the stands in the closer shots.
I was at that concert too. 4 Hits of window pane acid. Remember it rained and the sun came out and the whole place bloomed with flesh? Remember the guys jumping off the 3rd tier into the backstop net, and the net broke and one guy fell to his death and the whole stadium went silent?
I was at that one. Peter Tosh and Kansas opened. Went to Cedar Point the next day. Great weekend to be 16 years old. Was either this Stones show or Fleetwood Mac/Utopia later in the summer that it rained during the day. We piled up some trash on the plastic carpet that was laid on the field. Too wet to get it lit though. Some dude did a high wire walk above the lower end of the stadium in the wind and rain.
Tom Slater that's hysterical lolol! It was but we had a blast! How about the drive to the concert!! Wow that was fun cars were backed up for miles! J.Giels lit up the stage!!👍👌👍👌👍 wow yes he just jammed so hard! Bob Seger and the silver bullet band...👍 👌👍 Rick Deringer oh yeah 👌👍! And my man~ Peter Frampton!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌✌✌✌✌✌ My gosh that was our Woodstock!! lol Well it kinda was!! It was just an excellent show!! ahhhh. The good old days when you could afford to take friends and pay for them to get in. $10.00!! Never again will you see prices like that~ NEVER!! What great memories! I have most all of my tickets and I'm still saving my ticket stubs!! I have stacks of tickets! Still adding to my stack! Last concert I saw recently was Yes !! and Asia! good gawd what a show!! The whole concert is on RUclips! It was at Ruth Eckhart hall. Tampa FL. Carl Palmer ~ I mean what can you even say!!! His drum Solo...watch it closely. Just insane he's incredible! if you watch closely where he almost dropped his Drumstick...what a great catch. We were right up front 4th row. left of the stage. This concert lasted over 4 hours!!! It was a great experience I'll never forget!!! ✌✌👍✌🌴😎🌴✌👍✌✌
Tom, Concerts there were great. All general admission. So free to wander around, sit down or stand wherever you wanted. It would probably have sucked with reserved seating though. 80,000 people at concerts was very cool. 3,000 people in that stadium at a baseball game was a little creepy though ,-)
Saw Emerson, Lake, and Palmer there. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Mahogany Rush, Rod Stewart, ELO, Santana. Lots of great stadium shows back in the early 70's. Oh yeah, did I mention Sly and the Family Stone? Savoy Brown? Paul Revere and the Raiders.

This is footage from two different concerts the first footage of the stadium is from before they added loges I think that was done around 1975. In the helicopter footage you can see the loges were there so had to be late 70’s. Man that’s ALOT of trash!! I went to many Indians games there in the late 80’s early 90’s I miss that place! It was definitely “cavernous” lol
Carry in coolers were a thing then. Which led to copious amounts of trash. At Fleetwood Mac in 1978 we stacked coolers next to the 8 foot high plywood wall in front of the stage. Stood on them and was able to watch their whole set from about ten feet away. Had a crush on Stevie Nicks when I was 16.

Agreed: those couple of seconds in the opening instantly took me back in time...
Great, priceless footage. I was too young to attend these shows, but wmms sponcered them and you'd start hearing commercials on the radio. These shows were no vans warped tour, all of the bands at every show were top notch talent, and the old lady on the lake was the perfect venue.

That's one hell of a line up. Can't even imagine seeing all those great bands together. Nice.
I was there too ! Somebody winged a whiskey bottle at Ted ! He dodged it ! Stopped the show till the guy was seriously beat ! Said 1 more thing thrown and we are walking off ! Great show !!! Still have my stub ! Op was in the air !
ME TOOOOOO SCOTT MARPLE WAS GREAT
@@guitarman6632 That I don't recall. I still have the T-shirt. July 28, 1979.
my ears are still Ringing
Wow, we were at the Peter Frampton Live tour in 1977. The Cars were the opening act and they got booed off the stage! Also, Bob Seger and Rick Derenger! Hot as hell that day!
I saw Frampton at Richfield Collesium around that time..and Queen....
I have pictures of that show !
I was there also. Hot day!
they don't like punk rock in northeast ohio
I saw Peter Frampton about 1974 at the Coliseum with Gary Wright (Dreamweaver)
1980 I saw Def Leppard, Eddie Money, J. Geils Band and Bob Seger. Spent the night under the bridge and partied all day. Drove back to CT the next day.
I was there too. Awesome concert and thankful I made it home a live!
I remember going to the World Series of Rock July of 1978 ..... it was a very hot day . Foreigner, ELO, Journey , and a few others groups .
I was there too. Those seats were not made for comfort!
I was there. Excellent concert.
Crazy the fans are all in mid 60s now lol
This was not the Pink Floyd concert. Hell Floyd had more on stage monitors than these guys had for the audience. This was Santana 1974 WSOR Game 3.

what do you mean "first concert"?
That stadium was a monstrosity. Too big, too cavernous, too creepy... and a terrible place for concerts. Just looking at it gives me the shivers.

santana was not there
Santana played the World Series of Rock in 1974
Peter Tosh
short concert 1 minute 52 sec
Led Zeppelin would never do that
Soooo public trash cans weren't a thing yet???
Carry in coolers were a thing then. Which led to copious amounts of trash. At Fleetwood Mac in 1978 we stacked coolers next to the 8 foot high plywood wall in front of the stage. Stood on them and was able to watch their whole set from about ten feet away. Had a crush on Stevie Nicks when I was 16.
Chances are I was there loo
Zoo.Riots. Municipal Stadium smelled..Druggs .
I was there !
