The idea seemed simple enough...FM radio station KPRI was going to give one free concert ticket to the first 250 persons who brought a can of food to help support Operation 1,000. The concert, set for tonight at Golden Hall, features the rock group., Blue Oyster Cult. The group was scheduled to perform at the plaza area on the corner of Fanuel and Garnet, but never showed.

That is the corner of Garnet Ave and Fanuel St in Pacific Beach. I beleive the record store there change names a few time. Google Earth shows it as a Yoga studio now. The 7-11 is still there. Thanks for sharing the flashbacks on Channel 8.
Indeed, this became Tower Records later. 👍
Tower Records ! That’s it that’s what I was trying to remember- Thanks👍
It was a Sam Goody’s at one time.
Thanks for the info!
The sign on the building in the background at 1:48 appears to say Licorice Pizza -- a southern California record store chain.
What was the concert? I don't think it was said. Surprised not more people got hurt.
I will check the script Monday.
2:31 Shaggy???
Do this today and you'd be sued into oblivion.
And all they wanted to do was give away tickets! 🤷♀️ I hope whoever the band was was worth the nonsense! 😒
Stampede deaths and yea this goes on and on and no one is aware... After someone close dies too looks like people are not aware 😅😅😅 and then they cry cry cry😢😢😢
