I don't know how many Bay Areans (Bay Aryans?) are out there, or if the 
similar events happened in other metro areas, but Bill Graham put on 
these "Day On The Green" concerts, which were all-day events, usually 
with 4 solid bands.   I went to many of these shows and they were 
guaranteed to include sunburns and burnouts...

Here's a Wikipedia listing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_on_the_Green

Those were the days...
