Commack Arena
We open up our New York Summer of 1977 concert list on Long Island in the town of Commack. One of the great boogie rock blues bands of all time rocked the great Commack Arena (Long Island Arena). Long Island’s favorite band Foghat played the Arena on May 13th 1977. It was always general admission at the Commack Arena. If you got their early and ran as fast as you could through the arena, you could stand right up against the stage and watch the concert from about a foot away, which I did for F...

They both played a concert together at Long Island’s Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on June 14th 1977. However the most loved southern rock band of all time outside of The Allman Brothers Band will always be Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was fortunate to catch the original band at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on June 16th 1977. This was one the greate...
Madison Square Garden
The month of June during the New York Summer of 1977 will always stand as one of the greatest months in concert history at Madison Square Garden for various reasons. First and foremost making that argument is the fact that the greatest rock band of all time named Led Zeppelin played Madison Square Garden for six historic nights on June, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. It was one of the hardest concert tickets to ever get. I was lucky to get one and it cost me less than $10.00 to sit in the lower lo...

Madison Square Garden
There are not many rock bands in classic rock history that you can put in the same sentence as Led Zeppelin. Madison Square Garden hosted one of them in early July when the great band Pink Floyd came to town. Pink Floyd played four straight nights at Madison Square Garden from July 1st to July 4th. I saw the July 3rd show and it was unbelievable. The band played the entire Animals and Wish You Were Here albums. They had flying pigs floating all around the Garden as they performed. Their encor...
After an incredible two months of concerts, the month of August did not let us down. However there was one exception. During the shows I attended at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the scoreboard would heavily promote future concerts before the night’s performance. One name that was constantly promoted was Elvis Presley. At the time he was n...
