Silenus, it sounds like Ronnie Lane’s Appeal for ARMS in '83. Saw this at the Forum in L.A. but I don’t remember the entire linup. ---

The line-up listed is for the London show. The one we saw was minus Steve Winwood, and plus Joe Cocker, Ray Cooper, and a few others. Wasn’t _Layla_ just fucking AWESOME? ---

Can’t answer, but wanted to point out that despite being a world-renowned percussionist, you are now one of only three people to mention [Baba](http://www.olatunjimusic.com/)on the Dope. I bring it up because the third is Zeldar, who is one of the Dope statisticians and would get a kick out of it. ---

I wouldn’t have even seen this if I hadn’t just done a “vanity search” for the first time in over a month! Looks like there may be another “statistician” among us. 😃 ---

Nov. 3, 1984 Emmylou Harris Rodney Crowell Rosanne Cash Willie Nelson John Prine Jackson Browne Kris Kristofferson Linda Ronstadt Martin Mull Jimmy Buffett and about a dozen others. The concert sold out so fast the promoters didn’t have time to promote it. I was there. ---

That’s it. The only reason I scored tickets was because I was basically living on the beach that summer and hitting every concert there was. Tickets went on sale at the Pacific the same day I was there for a concert (Neil Young, I think.) ---

Anyone have the Maximum Rock n Roll lineup from the San Francisco On Broadway circa 1984ish? I couldn’t find it on line ---

> [@China\_Guy](#): > > Anyone have the Maximum Rock n Roll lineup from the San Francisco On Broadway circa 1984ish? I couldn’t find it on line Yaknow, I was trying to figure out how to stump all y’all with the lineups from Chicagofest between '79 and '81, and I’ll be damned if I could find anything more than “ooh, I remember this band and this one” online, and an official Chicagofest fansite with interesting photos and stories, but a complete disappointment to completists (parse that!). I remember seeing the Doobie Brothers and Head East (a bastardized version at that) and The Hounds (among others), but a full lineup is nowhere to be found. I guess the intertubes don’t have everything. ---

> [@Coriolanus](#): > > Run D.M.C. > Ruben Blades > Babatunde Otalunji and Drums of Passion > Felix Cavaliere > Paul Butterfield > Mick Taylor > Santana (with Buddy Miles) > Crosby, Stills & Nash > Allman Brothers This was the “Crackdown on Crack” concert, October 31, 1986 at Madison Square Garden, NYC. David Crosby had recently been released from jail. The Allman Brothers Band reunited after 4 years. Baba was great. And they were all on stage for a jam after the Allmans played “Jessica”. The concert ended after 2 AM. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-that-concert/619043.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-that-concert/619043.md?page=3)
