Nazareth, Ted Nugent, Lynyrd Skynyryd and Aerosmith.

I was up close and people very close were pulling themselves up by their fingers on the wooden barrier so they could see. Security thugs were banging those people's hands with metal hammers. This went on throughout their set. I distinctly remember him seeing this guy's hand get smashed and laughing about it It disturbed me for a long time. Maybe it was the alcohol and drugs, and I hope he is a changed individual. I know he has been to rehab and '76 was alcohol and drugs gone wild. Everyone in that place, myself included, was drunk and stoned to the moon.

As a '76 high school graduate, I loved their music. But being a very talented and creative musician does not mean you are a nice person.
