1985 - AMERICA - Six Flags Great America - Grand Music Hall - 1985
This is the first show produced under the Six Flags ownership of the park. The show was produced by Six Flags Show Productions based out of Texas and had been previously performed at several other Six Flags parks. This is also the first show at SFGAm to utilize recorded vocals for the ensemble. Only solo vocals were live. All orchestrations were recorded. Full live orchestras ended after 1981. The live rhythm section with click-track was eliminated after 1984. Thank you to Bob B (Audio guy). and Maureen C.(Performer) for finding this VHS tape!
