Texxas World Music Festival / Texas Jam 1978 t-shirt For Sale

Texxas Jam was the informal nickname of an annual summer rock concert called the Texxas World Music Festival (1978–1988). It was held in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl, and in Houston, at either the Astrodome or the Rice Stadium on the campus of Rice University.The original Texxas Jam was a three-day festival held over the Fourth of July weekend in 1978 and encompassed rock and country. Texxas Jam was created by Louis Messina, promoter of Pace Concerts in Houston, and David Krebs, manager of the rock acts Ted Nugent and Aerosmith. Krebs wanted to duplicate the music festival California Jam II (held March 18, 1978, in Ontario, California) in Texas. Krebs was unfamiliar with the territory, so he contacted Messina in Houston.1978 (July 1) – Texxas Music Festival, Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Texas (General Admission – $12.50)Blackstone (Winner of the State-Wide "Battle of the Bands" for an opening slot on the 1978 Texxas Jam

Cheech & ChongNotes: Ted Nugent joined Aerosmith on stage for a rousing rendition of "Milk Cow Blues". For comic relief, Cheech & Chong entertained the crowd between a couple of acts. The temperature reached 104 degrees that day (over 120 degrees on the field). To protect the Cotton Bowl, they covered the surface with black tarps. Over 100,000 people were in attendance on the hottest day of the decade. The concert had hose sprinklers around the field edge to cool people off, and they hosed the crowd down with firehoses from the stage. First aid stations were busy.This was the first southern stadium rock show since ZZ Top played to 80,000 people at UT Austin on September 1, 1974, and tore up the field. In the aftermath of the ZZ Top UT show, there was never supposed to be another stadium rock show in Texas again, an informal prohibition that lasted all of four years.The 100% cotton men's classic tee will help you land a more structured look.
