Question
Hi: Do you know who headlined/opened for the July 23, 1978 Day on the Green festival in Oakland, CA? It was AC/DC, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Pat Travers, and Foreigner?
Who headlined? Who opened? Do you know the order of the bands?
Do you know any of the songs AC/DC might have performed that day? Highway To Hell was still about a year away from being released, but do you know if they maybe did some songs from that album on that day?
Anything you could remember or know would be great.
Much appreciation,
Steven
If you're interested, I've interviewed Angus many times.
