As opposed to 50+. 15 is a few. No matter how many, the end result is the same.

Zepp was the greatest rock band EVER.

I was at the '75 show at the PMAC. or was it '73?
We took I-12 from Covington to Baton Rouge ... which wasn't open yet.
... lucky to be alive.

I was there. The best live show I have ever seen. And I have seen plenty.

Hendrix played at independence Hall in in BR in 1968. Elvis and many others played at Baton Rouge High School's auditorium.

I’ve heard Johnny Rivers owns the Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip. Does anyone know if it’s true?

but in 1977 the Maravich Assembly Center was only 5 years old and held a capacity of 13,000 plus. It was probably one of the better venues at the time
Good point. The BJCC came on line in 77 and Birmingham got all the big names during that time including Zepplin on that tour.

Concert scene was fine until the early 80's when there was a high publicity teen overdose at a concert at the Centroplex. And it was D/A Ossie Brown who shut down the concerts. And banned The Life of Brian from showing in Baton Rouge.
and Lafayette opened the Cajundome and became the alternate midweek stop between NOLA and HOU

Love that poster!
The Stones wanted to rent the Monroe Civic Center for a week before the '75 tour to rehearse with their new stage. The Stones camp told the city they would keep things as private as possible and provide their own security. City turned them down due to them being satanic. Also the same reason KISS never played Monroe in the 70's
