I finally searched and found your site. For some reason, the sights and sounds and the heat of that day are set in my mind. Also I think it ended up raining, so we got some relief. I traveled from Columbia TN, to meet up with friends in Lousiville KY and we drove to the show. We got lost in Cincy (guess why) but had a CB radio. We got directions and finally made it to the stadium. I had never seen such a sight as I saw that day. You saw it too so you know. I can never forget, but don't have anything left from that show. Can you get me any pictures of that day? I also attended the 1st Ohio River Rock Festival on 8/3/75, I was 19 at the time. I finally searched and found your site.

Besides The Band and Santana there was also Jesse Colin Young from the Youngbloods. I remember the rumor circulating before The Band's set that Dylan was going to show up on stage, didn't happen though. I remember the following afternoon listening to Denny Sanders on WMMS, he was really upset at the Plain Dealer on account of their negative coverage regarding the concert, nothing about the music itself, just ragging on about the crowd.

I love nelson ledges. I miss living in ohio. I just couldn't believe that he saw Heart and J. Geils that close to home. I was just a little too young to have been there i guess. Doc, quite an accomplishment to have seen all those bands. I also love Legend Valley. I went for a very different type of show there, i saw willie nelson and marshall tucker band with leon russell. Oh, I certainly miss cleveland , The Richfield Coliseum that used to exist, Blossom Music Center, never been to a world series of rock although ive seen a few shows at the old Indians Stadium. WMMS, and the other cleveland music stations sure beat the heck out of the crap in Florida. All we have here are death metal bands trying to outpuke sound each other. This is great reminiscing. the twelve Aerosmith concerts, ted nugent, hundreds of shows. CLEVELAND ROCKS laura Well thank you very much doc and rick. I love nelson ledges. I miss living in ohio.

Nine guys from Chicago, in our teens, with a buddy's brother being 21, rented a van and placed ourselves about nine rows from the stage, and had the greatest time feasting on fantastic rock -n-roll. The year was 1975, Aerosmith was good, the Outlaws introduced themselves to the world, Styx was good, but Foghat and BOC kicked ass! I think Bobby Womack and Peace were there as well. The only way the day could have been better is if Wishbone Ash were on the bill. Great memories, a tremendous day! We had our share in Chicago as well, but not the U of C. on that day!

I didn't know anything about it or had heard of Nelson Ledges until my GF at the time said we were going there. And they said it was a racetrack. I don't remember all the bands, but I do remember Heart (they were my favorite at the time) and ELO. Well thats where everyone I went with said we were.
