Comments:
Spectacular show from the massive California Jam 2 in '78 which Aerosmith headlined.
The show opened with Jean Michel Jarre (electronic space rock). First on stage was Bob
Welch (with a crack back-up band lifted from Pat Travers Band at the time (Pat Thrall and
Tommy Aldridge, if I remember right), then Dave Mason, Santana, Heart, Nugent (had what
they called a heat stroke, but having watched a boot video about a year after the concert, if
that wasn't an overdose on speed or coke, I'm not breathing now), Foreigner (first American tour, played a lot of stuff off there yet-to-be-released Double Vision album, which would go on to be the best selling album of that year), Aerosmith and then came Rubicon and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush.
