I attended concerts at the old City Park Stadium before the Superdome was completed in 1975 and 1976. I remember Lynyrd Skynyrd was scheduled to play but had airplane troubles (bad omen) and was unable to attend. I don’t remember which year each one came but I remember seeing the following bands:
ZZ Top
Aerosmith
J Geils Band
Black Oak Arkansas
Montrose
Probably a few more were in attendance but I recall these. Every band was outstanding!
While Aerosmith was playing around 30 cops entered through the main gate in between the stadium seats, which were pretty high. They attacked a few people in their way and the folks in the high seats started raining down bottles on them. It was like a summer downpour of bottles. They quickly retreated. I recall Steven Tyler stopping his set and cussing the cops out for about 10 minutes. I just knew they were going to come haul him off the stage but they never came.
Great shows!
