Oops. Just remembered a few more @$$-kickin' Summerfest concerts from the 70's: The Cars, REO Speedwagon, and who can forget the innumerable times I saw Sweetbottom (Darrel Steurmer, Duane Steurmer, Warren Wiegratz, and a couple of drummers and/or keyboard players whose names I can't remember)....

I remember Blood Sweat and Tears, The Beach Boys, REO Speedwagon, Peter Frampton, a bunch of jazz bands that were really good. It was cheap then. 5, 6 dollars to see any band for free! Plus in the early 70's, if you were a resident of Milwaukee, you could get a special Milwaukee pass and pay one price for the entire 10 days. My first summerfest was in 71. I remember seeing Lionel Hampton. He was one of the greatest jazz artists from the early days.
