Former District Attorney Ossie Brown led a campaign in 1982 against rock concerts in Baton Rouge after the drunken exploits of an overzealous crowd at an AC/DC concert in the River Center was publicized.


The riot at the Rick James show at the State Fairgrounds around that time didn't help any.

No matter. Ossie the clown = self-righteous prick with authority. Corrupt to the core, too.

Yeah, but it was a fun town to grow up in. I was in HS at the time, and those were great times.

This was also around the time Ozzie allegedly bit the head off the bat and pissed on the Alamo. Ossie the Clown basically declared war on Ozzie, hinting that he'd have him arrested if he set foot in BR. That made national news at the time.

I tell you, Ossie Brown was a very dangerous man to have as much power as he did.

Still censored. Yelawolf ( ) walked off the stage last year because of censorship and later in the show lupe fiasco cursed and then apologized for it and said he wasnt supposed to curse. Its absolutely mind blowing to me that bullshite like this still goes on.

Ludacris was definitely censored. I could tell he was having to hold back and couldn't really do the show like he wanted.

I went last year to see lupe. Grace potter opened and frickin blew. It was just her and her drummer, rest of the band had the night off apparently. It was hollow sounding and boring as hell.

I was at that show. I was disappointed and, ultimately, bored.

video of Led Zeppelin at the pmac 1977-

HERE

Saw that Leon Russell was gonna be at the Varsity. Reminded me that his show at the pmac might have been the best I saw in the 70's. Was an incredibly huge band from what i have left in memory.

Nice find, blues. I was sitting in the middle tier to the right of the stage. That was the loudest concert I ever attended. My ears were bleeding.

How come the ticket says march 1st, but the tour poster lists the date as may 19th?
