The Pagemeister Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 The greatest concert you have never heard of: The 1969 Toronto Rock & Roll Revival SYNOPSIS Three weeks after Woodstock, a one-day rock concert happened in Toronto. It featured five Godfathers of 1950’s Rock: Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley and Little Richard. It also featured: John Lennon’s first solo appearance directly leading to his leaving The Beatles (a week later); the “chicken incident” which thrust Alice Cooper from obscurity to infamy, taking Shock Rock mainstream; a random suggestion that helped introduce lighters to concerts; and it set Alan White on a path to the Rock Hall-of-Fame. https://forgottenfestival.com Quote

Badgeholder Still Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Unique event for sure This was one of the first tapes i received early in my snail mail tape trading days Grew up with this in the house Still have this cassette around here somewhere Can't help wondering what's going thru Clapton's mind when he's onstage with Yoko Revisited the DVD during lockdown. Time to again Quote
