Around 67,000 people attended the August 1977 concert at Arizona Stadium headlined by the famous rock band. The lineup also included Kenny Loggins, the Marshall Tucker Band and a local band called Arizona.

At the time, it was the largest rock concert in Arizona history, beating out Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson's 1976 concert in Tempe while filming "A Star is Born."
