Fifty years ago today, 88,000 at the old Muny Stadium. I didn't go to many of these large outdoor events, but I was at this one.
From Scene, August 8 -14, 1974.
I recall some guy climbing the screen behind home plate fell and was seriously injured, others climbed the rafters smashing lights showering those below with shards of glass. I had been to the Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert a month earlier. A year later I saw Pink Floyd at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. In July 1978 I saw the Rolling Stones twice in a week, at Cleveland Stadium and at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, Suburban Buffalo on the Fourth of July. I really preferred being indoors.
