A guest for Peter Frampton · Wed, 22 Nov 1978
I was 18 I’m now 65! I just shared my memories of sitting on a random guy’s shoulders and my trousers split at the knees. Listening to Peter Framptom as I write this. These were the best days of my life 🤣
Five questions about the building, not the gig

Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what Western Springs Stadium is actually like to stand in. There's room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.

A guest 100% for ZZ Top · Sat, 14 Mar 1987
I was 14, it was my first concert. The police matched the Black Power gang away from the venue to avoid a confrontation with mongrel mob members who had already arrived. 80,000 people and ZZ Top were awesome and at the peak of their powers. Jimmy Barnes rocked the pre-show and brought on special guest Michael Hitchrnce to do Good Times which was a hit at the time. Knightshade was the first act . Amazing memories, I just picked up an original concert promo poster which I have in the wall. ZZ Too broke the legal decibel level and were banned from performing future concerts at Western Springs.
