The summer of 1979 I joined the Marine Corp delayed entry. I went to bootcamp MCRD San Diego Aug 31, 1979. I went to every single DOG that summer. My last party hurrah! Day On The Green #1: Boston, Sammy Hagar, Eddie Money, Robert Fleischman (May 6, 1979) Originally the band UK was scheduled to open, eventually being replaced by Robert Fleischman. Day On The Green #2: Journey, The J. Geils Band, UFO, Thin Lizzy, Nazareth, The Rockets (July 4, 1979). This show was alternately called the 4th Of July All American Rock N Roll Show. Day On The Green #3: Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, St.Paradise (July 21, 1979). Also called The Monsters Of Rock show. Ted Nugent, Aerosmith and AC/DCs set has been bootlegged in video form. This was reputedly the only footage from any of the 1970s Day On The Green concerts to be available, (other film footage has been found, but not widely released - Fleetwood Mac from 1976 for one). It was somehow taken from the famous Bill Graham vault c2006-2007. Footage of Lynyrd Skynyrd performing Freebird at the 7/4/1977 Day on the Green can be seen in the documentary film Freebird - The Movie Funk On The Green #1: Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsys Rubber Band, Brides of Funkenstein, Bar-Kays, Sister Sledge, Confunkshun, Parlet (August 4, 1979)
