Day On The Green 1978 Unused Bill Graham Presents Ticket
1978 brought a spectacular series of Day On The Green concerts at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Stadium in May, July and September of that year. Bill Graham was known for creating massive backdrop sets featuring custom artwork by the legendary scenic shop FM Productions.
This ticket, issued by Bill Graham Presents (BGP), was primarily utilized by their Vendors, Associates, Clients, Friends, Family and Employees and was valid for any of the following events:
Day On The Green #1: The Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt, Elvin Bishop, Dolly Parton, Norton Buffalo (May 28, 1978)
Day On The Green #2: Steve Miller, Bob Seger, Outlaws, Ronnie Montrose, Toby Beau Band (June 17, 1978) (This show was cancelled when Steve Miller backed out. Bob Seger and Toby Beau instead played in the arena on June 18)
Day On The Green #3: Aerosmith, Foreigner, Pat Travers, Van Halen, AC/DC(July 23, 1978) This was Van Halen’s first Stadium gig as far as I am aware.
Day On The Green #4: The Rolling Stones, Santana, Eddie Money, Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals (July 26, 1978) Billed as the "Very Special Day On The Green," as The Rolling Stones did not initially have a tour date in the area.
Day On The Green #5: Ted Nugent, Blue Öyster Cult, Journey, AC/DC, Cheap Trick (September 2, 1978)
