SNACK Benefit Concert - 1975-03-23 - San Francisco, CA (FM)

In 1975, legendary promoter Bill Graham, known for his shows at venues such as Winterland and The Fillmores, undertook his first large-scale outdoor stadium concert. On March 23, 1975, 45 years ago today, he presented the SNACK Benefit Concert at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. SNACK was an an acronym for Students Need Athletics, Culture and Kicks. At the time, budget cuts had almost completely wiped out all after-school activities in San Francisco’s public school system. Graham went to bat for the kids, and recruited a host of rock legends to help him. Billed as Jerry Garcia and Friends, The Grateful Dead opened the show, one of only 4 concerts they played that year. Tower Of Power, Santana, The Doobie Brothers, Jefferson Starship and Joan Baez also were also on the bill. The show closed with a set from Neil Young and Bob Dylan, backed by members of the Band. Not sure if Neil was sitting in with Bob and The Band, or the other way around, but either way, this FM broadcast of the show is a must have for your collection.
