Guice fiddles as Tech football burns

ZZ Top, Ohio Players, The Spinners, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Louisiana Leroux, Hall & Oates, England Dan & John Ford Coley, and...others.

Those were the days my friend

Rick Springfield, Loverboy, Survivor, RVS

Bryan Adams, Chicago WITH Peter Cetera, Styx...'82-'86

Late 90s featured Better Than Ezra in JAS, Cowboy Mouth in Howard, Goo Goo Dolls in the TAC ... Guiss wouldve loved it.

Not a music act, but also Chris Rock in the TAC.

Lynyrd Skynyrd performed twice at LA Tech. Once in 1973, and again in 1974. The last one was 3 years BEFORE the plane crash.

You're right. I went to almost all of those. Think I missed the Leroux concert.

Memorial Gym was a really good concert hall.

Little River Band! one of my all-time favorite bands, and I was there for '79 gig. Dang! I missed the Steely Dan concert as 1973 was before my time at Tech. Saw Peter Frampton twice elsewhere. And Wishbone Ash is one of those very under-appreciated bands...awesome guitar work.

Sorry, I was thinking that was just before your time.

Which of those performances was your favorite?

And Run DMC in the TAC. Caedmon's Call being barraged by crickets in the plaza. Trace Adkins in the Tonk. And maybe the Little Black Backpack group in the Tonk? Stroke 9? I may be imagining that last one (I didn't go, or maybe only stayed for opening act).

OOH -- forgot RunDMC. I ended up giving away my ticket to that one (think I had flu, or something.)

I dont remember Trace, but I take your word.

Amy Grant at the TAC in '89 / night after we beat LaSalle in NCAA tournament / lost to OU next day
