I was there too it was an awesome show, I think I was about the same age, my first show was Day on The Green Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, Santana & Peter Frampton 1977, I was 13, my mother and her boyfriend took me and one of my friends, Day on The Green's were some of the greatest concerts.
Pretty damn strong lineup. In 1979 I saw the Canadian World Music Festival that included: AEROSMITH, NUGENT, NAZARETH, RAMONES, JOHNNY WINTER, GODDO and MOXY. Amazing show!
There is really no topping that lineup saw pink Floyd tho and drank from Bodega bags from complete strangers on the green got lost till every grey Honda left the venue after 2 hours and made it home faded into bed. That was a killer concert tho right!
So nice to see my people that were experiencing day on the green with me. It was truly a magical experience not talking mushrooms but true music lovers Ted and acdc killed it. Chap trick, journey too.no other venue ever an replicate this the 70's were the best
I went to the ‘79 Day on the Green in Oakland CA. Exact same line up. AC/DC blew every one away. Angus Young went into the outfield audience while jamming on “Whole Lotta Rosie”. This was my favorite stadium concert.
I was there too! AC/DC absolutely blew everyone away. Little did I know I would one day sit in a room with the Young bros jamming in Australia at a mate’s place.
46 years later, ANGUS and his band sell out stadiums bigger than this all over Europe....WOW!!! AC/DC, the True Titans of Rock and the sole survivors!!
1979 I was 16 y/o This was my first day on the green. I remember The Live Power Performance of Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush! I love and listen to FMMR Music to this Day
I was in the Navy stationed at the Naval Air Station Alameda and went to this concert. I was ripped. I don't remember much of it but am pretty sure I had a good time.
@@markusaurelius777 he has issues with his shoulder. And I’m not sure because I don’t know the man but I’m sure it’s hard to play like that. Maybe he’s just done? Only he knows the answer. If you look on Frank Marino site he announced he was done. Glad I saw him as many times as I did!
I was there. Ted was a wild man. Swinging in on a rope. Throwing the fake rocks in the crowd. I think I went to 5 Days on the green total. Like $12 a ticket for 4-5 big time bands.
I was there! Who remembers the third base dugout? That was the first aid station where people tripping too hard on acid were housed. They even had " i survived the the third base dug out" t shirts! Bill graham could really promote a rock and roll show! RIP bon and bill and malcolm!
I was there at this show with my friend Brian. The Day On The Green was billed as MONSTERS OF ROCK, hence the Dinosaur backdrop. The reason the stadium is emptish when St. Paradise was playing was the weather. It RARELY rains in California in the summer, but that morning it did rain. Getting into the stadium was REALLY REALLY SLOW...and many stayed in the cars. We got there early in the morning and I remember taking forever to get inside (remember, this was pre-911 so no metal detectors or pat downs and we had simple paper tickets). When got in, we sat around home plate in the lower box. The stage was in Left/Center field for the Oakland A's. We barely saw St. Paradise. Now AC/DC I barely knew them. I had definitely heard Long Way To The Top, but I didn't know anything about them really. Highway To Hell wasn't released yet. During The Rocker, Angus went out into the field through the crowd. Now I had NO IDEA at the time Wireless systems worked that far range. It took us quite a bit to "find" him and we were shocked he was on shoulders going through the infield. My main memory is the people running with Angus after he climbed over the left field wall to return to the stage. An AC/DC fan was born that day. Brian and I went to San Mateo to Banana Records at Hillsdale Mall a few days after the show and we bought EVERY AC/DC album they had. Now I'm "Malcolm" in an AC/DC tribute band, so I really became a big fan (Priest /DC). I knew Frank Marino and Electric Reflections of War. He was great...but I think I only bought his live album. Aerosmith I was RIGHT UP FRONT stage right. Aerosmith was sloppy (my memory) and they appeared hammered...probably were. I didn't care. I can still remember clearly Bill Graham came out to introduce the "Chairman of the board", Ted Nugent and he came swinging out on a vine with loin cloth....we loved it.
That's what Ted was talking about when he came out. He didn't name Aerosmith but started rapping about cocaine and drugs. They sucked bad. I went up to 3rd deck and took a nap when they played. Aerosmith sucked. I always thought Ted was a coke head until I found out he never touched it. Dawned on me he was talking about them.
Frank ripped the place to pieces. So underrated today. But he was respected by his peers. They were jealous. At 22: he gets into Down, Down, Down. He is a little speedy here but still, fantastic. He opened with that 3/3/83 and man he was better. 2 bum notes in two hours. Bon AC/DC great but nobody captured youthful energy like Frank.
Frank ripped EVERY GOD DAMN PLACE HE EVER WENT to pieces. I always "champion" the "underrated" guys, I love Wishbone Ash, Rory Gallagher, Steve Marriott, etc. but as time has gone by I've started to feel like Frank is probably the very MOST UNDERRATED cat in history. I only saw him once (I was maybe 13/14) but I remember it like it was yesterday. It was STUNNING. Totally indelible memory. One of the two most bludgeoning guitar performances I've EVER witnessed (the other being Rory Gallagher).
I was there, July 21, 1979! Even though it may not look like it, the show started early, I want to say sometime around 11am. It had rained so it was a bit overcast. A friend's mom dropped us off near the front gate at about 6am. We were 2nd row just left of the stage in front of Malcolm Young. After AC/DC played we went and found some seats on the lower deck for Aerosmith and Ted Nugent. They show AC/DC 2nd, but I'm positive they were 3rd after Frank Morino. I have pictures of AC/DC that a friend of mine took, I need to post those somewhere. It was awesome, I was 15 years old, it was a great time. I went on the go to some great concerts over the next 5 years. Classic bands.
I thank my brother to bringing me I was we 15 he got ousted but I allowed to stay it changed my perspective on life these are my favorite bands. PS I got safe ride home
Oakland, California at the old Raiders/As stadium on Hegenberger in 1979. Can we give some love to the brilliant Derek St. Holmes who did most of Ted's vocals, especially his best song Stranglehold??
Incredible DOTG Monsters of Rock! I was there w my older brother. Frank played Jimi and transported all back ten years to Woodstock, everybody was Feelin' It🤘🏼. First and last time seeing Bon. My cousin seen AC/DC the yr before so he told us be prepared when Bon carries Angus thru the crowd, we were! Cameraman here didn't know where they were until Angus had scaled the outfield wall up to the bleachers. Aerosmith sounded terrible, were completely shitfaced I learned yrs later. The rad mad badass of RocknRoll, Ted 'motormouth' Nugent, was just that, loincloth and all.🦖
Frank Marino is just incredible! I first saw him when he was 17, playing Hendrix like no-one else at that time, on a Gibson SG!!! Aerosmith's sound is really sh#%$%?y just like when I saw them the year before...Trouble with their soundman? AC/DC and Ted Nugent really rock!
Those were the last days of pre-rehab Aerosmith. A week later in Cleveland, the famous Milk Throwing Incident occurred and Joe left the band for several years.
@@themightydecibel-heavymeta7130 Day On the Green festivals in the Oakland Coliseum we're awesome. Saw Judas Priest, Rick Derringer and Led Zeppelin two years earlier in the same stadium.
Sorry to see Bob Segar and Charlie Daniels circuit the fairggounds even ZZ Top. They are and always be legends. Just nice to even see them in a venue. They deserved so much better tho imo. I was privedged to see them play at concert in Oakland
I Laugh When People Say Bon Scott Era or Brian Johnson Era ,,Without Malcolm ACDCWould Never Have Happened He's There Very Reason They Existed His Riffs His Knowing How To Run A Band Facts RIP Malcolm
Didnt know St.Paradise opened up. Former vocalist/guitar and bassist (Derek St. Holmes/Rob Grange) from Ted Nugents previous band. On the same bill with Ted and his new band...a coincidence? Great lineup at this festival. 1979 was my first year going to concerts.
Great show! Had to go when Nugent opened..Over exhausted and other things!🤪 AC/DC & Marino stole the show! Could have done without Aeroschmights! Thanks Mighty Decibel for the share..
My brother used himself as a battering ram. Got himself arrested. I tiptoed in and remember a little of the event but was 15 also and alone got thourly drunk and got a ride home from nice couple. Those were the days kids.
I wonder if all these people realized what sort of legends appeared before them...the likes of Bon Scott for instance, and that music was only gonna get poorer and poorer the older they would become...I would give until early 90s before the talent washed off...
@@garymartin1045 I write thrash and death metal, snapperhead. This Nugent IS pop rock. YOU like pop rock, not me. And I think Ted's a killer entertainer and great guitar player, but his songs are lame with a couple exceptions. His work with the Damn Yankees was probably his best. Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, ACDC, Priest, Rush, Thin Lizzy all wrote better than this stuff then. But Ted is for sure high energy and a great show if you can get past his ego between songs telling everyone how great he is like when I saw him in Detroit one year. It was so annoying we left from a New Year's Eve show. "Just What the Doctor Ordered"...lame. My favorite thing about Ted is his politics which I agree with 100%.
I was there! Rock at 11 am! I was confused Ted's band played first without ted, then someone told me Ted fired his whole band. Frank played next and killed it, then it rained and AC/DC came out and the rain stopped and the sun came out, and they destroyed the place, I bought every album they ever did after this. Aerosmith came out sloppy and fun ked up on coke, the Ted came out and without Derrick on vocals it took three quarters of his set out and gave us a half hour of wango tango and the other songs Ted sings. It was pretty bad. But seeing acdc was all worth it! I was 15.....
I think it was in 1978 at Giant Stadium in East Rutherford N.J. I saw in this order: Frank Marino & Maghoney Rush (Very good), Journey (good), Ted Nugent with Derrick St. Holmes (Excellent), Aero smith (SUCKED). Promised myself never to see them again! It was during the Draw the Line Tour I remember because I bought the t-shirt which was the cover of that album. The shirt also proved to be a ripoff just like their terrible performance. The shirt stretched beyond belief. Couldn't even wear it afterwards! Perry's guitar along with Tyler forgetting the lyrics must have been to them being too doped up.
I went to alot of these days on the green; and l can tell you that they had an awesome sound system always. Sadly, these are TERRIBLE recordings, both sonically and visually.
Most of it was pretty bad, except AC/DC. Angus Young's intonation perfect as always. The band is obviously well rehearsed. The others were terrible by comparison
I wonder how Angus could play guitar while running around so much. It almost seems like a prerecorded track seeing that his playing is so accurate. I've never seen any guitarist run around so much on stage. He must be exhausted after a concert.
So nice to see my people that were experiencing day on the green with me. It was truly a magical experience not talking mushrooms but true music lovers Ted and acdc killed it. Chap trick, journey too.no other venue ever an replicate this the 70's were the best

That is St. Paradise, which had Derek St. Holmes, Rob Grange and Denny Carmmasi
I never knew of this line up. Love all these guys
I wasn't here, but I was in Cleveland one week later. No Frank Marino, but Scorpions, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Journey, Aerosmith, and Nuge. Top that
Pretty damn strong lineup. In 1979 I saw the Canadian World Music Festival that included: AEROSMITH, NUGENT, NAZARETH, RAMONES, JOHNNY WINTER, GODDO and MOXY. Amazing show!
There is really no topping that lineup saw pink Floyd tho and drank from Bodega bags from complete strangers on the green got lost till every grey Honda left the venue after 2 hours and made it home faded into bed. That was a killer concert tho right!

Frank Marino Is An Amazing Everything and NEVER Gets Enough Credit. I Love Him and His Brother Vincent.
Was there for this one as well as many other Day on the Green concerts from 1976 to 1982.
GIANTS!!!
FRANK AND TED, ARE MY GUITAR HEROES!!!
Frank is so insane. Saw him many times. Always a trip. God bless the man. Hope you feel better!
Is he sick ? Hope he's ok. Frank is a beast guitar player !!!
@@markusaurelius777 he has issues with his shoulder. And I’m not sure because I don’t know the man but I’m sure it’s hard to play like that. Maybe he’s just done? Only he knows the answer. If you look on Frank Marino site he announced he was done. Glad I saw him as many times as I did!
He has stated in a few interviews that his shoulder is fine. He hasn't disclosed the ailment as of yet.@@326vince
I saw ACDC 3X in the spring/summer/fall 1979. Seen them many times with Brian, but Bon was magical.
I was there. Ted was a wild man. Swinging in on a rope. Throwing the fake rocks in the crowd. I think I went to 5 Days on the green total. Like $12 a ticket for 4-5 big time bands.
Insane! day on the green was so cheap! Bill graham the greatest rock promoter and its not even close. Monsters of rock!
Holy Shit…St. Paradise!!
That’s some rare footage, THANK YOU!!
🤘
I was there! I still talk about how Angus ran around the entire stadium while playing a solo. Was an incredible day!
Me too dude or dudette! Best of times
I was there too. Year before Angus went through the crowd on top of Bon Scotts shoulders while soloing. They started at 11am.
Frank marino...oh little town of Bethlehem..with a floor full of the latest pedals
Brendan Moylan was there, Jimmy Delosada drove, thanks, My wife, Jessica McDonald could not make it she was only 1. AC/DC killed it !!
Oh I was there too!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I totally agree with you that it was a superlative concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be well, guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Had no idea St Paradise were part of this show, nice bonus, released a very good album in 1979.
Would like to see their whole set!

That was a week after this concert, but yep, he might as well could have left that night, Aerosmith's fate was sealed.
