It was before my time but the music was amazing. As a hard rock guy, I think of all the bands in peak form. Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, KISS, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and the list goes on. Wow. Compare that to today's offerings.

Saw everyone of those in their prime
ETA: don’t forget Grand Funk, one of the most underrated bands of all time, BOA not shabby either

The best part was LSU having nearly all of those, and more. Once the PMAC opened, Baton Rouge was a stop on all of the major tours.
Looking at my 1978 Gumbo, we saw Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris, Chicago, Average White Band, Styx, Crystal Gayle, Foghat, Rod Stewart, John Denver, Emmerson, Lake, and Palmer, Frank Zappa, Heart, Harry Chapin, Boz Scaggs, Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge, Gino Vanelli, and David Bowie all that year. I was lucky enough to see nearly all of them. The Skynyrd plane crashed coming to BR that year too.
ETA: Missed some pages. We also had The Grateful Dead, I guess in the PMAC, and Richie Havens at the Union Theater. The Riverside Centroplex opened in 1977. The concert I remember there was Jackson Brown.
