AEROSMITH at the Oakland, California July 21st 1979 " Day on the Green " also known as Monsters of Rock . Sonically imperfect but vintage rare film of the event
Obviously, pre-Rehab! Uhhhggg, they sounded terrible, and haters don't say it was the sound system! It was 5 great musicians that had gone too far, did too much, alcohol, blow, sex, you name it. Glad they were able to recover and probably make some of their best music.
@lucifer73 This was Monsters of Rock venues put on by Billy Graham Presents in Oakland. I'm not sure if this was the 2nd or 3rd but I'm pretty darn sure it wasnt my first. I have pictures from the 1977 Monsters of Rock at Oakland Colliseum. These shows had anywhere from 3 to 5 bands and was an all day show typically.. all headliners of the day. Good stuff, great memories!
ACDC blew them off the stage!!!

My bad, referring to Monsters of Rock or Day on the Green show in 1978, didn't
attend this one.

I was at this show, most definitely pre-rehab. Opening band was AC/DC, followed by Van Halen, and then Foreigner. AC/DC and Van Halen were awesome.
