@firemblem01 Thank you. I had forgotten about the anniversary. Too much rock and roll and not enough memory left in my brain.

I was at both Cal Jams, remember Keith spinning around in the air with his keyboards (piano?). Great show!

Tycobrae was the sound company for that show

And this was just for 10 bucks.

sabbath and purple stole the show i would say, with sabbath getting the crowd into it with children of the grave, you can just feel the energy, and ritchie putting his guitar through a camera and blowing up his amp, with a little to much explosive, what a super show,

[TheTayedrums]

it was one hellava concert-a mixture of groups cultures it was on tv simulcast on the radio and until u tube i thought i would never get to see those tapes again...some people had them but it was a hard find for the most part-and i had gave up only to remember u tube just recently...i am glad i grew up in those times to see rock music grow...

I was there. The sound system was mind blowing. They played Steely Dan the whole night before while people filed in and it made me fall in love with SD, it sounded so good.

to be honest i dont like day concerts..

I was there, I was 15. It was awesome, it was like my 2nd or 3rd concert ever. I actually remember the guy telling about the med centers like it shows here. It's cool seeing them closer on these videos. They were hard to see from where I was and I wasn't too far back.
