Does anyone remember the Chicago and Beach Boys concert in 1975 at Angel Stadium? My dad gave my boyfriend and I tickets to it. It was amazing!! The stadium was full, and we were in the upper stands, and everyone up there started jumping up and down, and security told us to stop because they were afraid the stands would fall, they were swaying!!
We waited in line all day because none of the seats were reserved so it was first come first serve.
I grew up in Tustin, does anyone remember the matinees on Saturdays at Tustin Theatre?
The Tiller Day parade?
Bonfires at the beach?
Marywood High School and the guys streaking across the courtyard?

Marywood High School and dancing around the Fairy Tree. And who could ever forget those streakers..must have been those naughty Public School Boys!!!!
I saw them play at the Capital Center in Landover, MD, just outside of Washington D.C.
It was without a doubt the best concert I had ever seen.
I was a little surprised that the Beach Boys played first with Chicago finishing. After jumping up and down and screaming at the Beach Boys, everything seemed so subdued when Chicago took the stage.
I don't remember too many specifics, but (I think) the Beach Boys stage was set up like a boat, and their first song was Sloop John B.
I've been to dozens and dozens of concerts since then, but none of them come close to the special time I had at this concert.
well in the 70's, Chicago at that time I saw them was wayyyyy bigger than the Beach Boys. The Beach Boys were just making a comeback. But I loved both bands, they were excellent, like you said the best concert I have been to.
I remember it. I was in the middle stands and had some friends below and they said concrete pieces were falling. Didn't a helicopter come in and blare people to stop jumping?
Linda, I was there at that concert also. i remember jumnping up and down and the stands swaying, wow, that was cool! I was 15.
I was at school when the Villa Park High boys streaked through the quad @ lunch time and Sisters Rosemary and Conrad chased them down! HAHA great times. I even knew one of the boys. He was my neighbor.
I was at the concert. I remember that they checked our bags at the gate for ??
I sat on the field and later that year our HS graduation (LOARA) was held on the same spot. I don't remember any helicopter but I was glad I was on the field when the stands started swaying.
I was there....what a concert ! I remember them threatening over the PA system that if the swaying in the stands didn't stop they were going to cancel the concert. On it went and wasn't great
little mistake on the last post should have been"wasn't IT great " it was
My wife and I were there in the last row on the top deck and watched with amazement through cannabis eyes as the second tier bounced up and down while people danced to the Beach Boys. It was a great concert as far as I can remember.
I was 19 and playing football at Santa Ana College and used to work security at all the Big A concerts (free concerts!) back then. My job was working the backstage area and I had a clear view of the stands from behind the outfield fence. It was so freaky - the stands were swaying with the beat! It looked like an illusion. I thought they were going to collapse. The Beach Boys were awesome that day.
Oh Wow!! I went to that concert with my best friend in the afternoon.
Loved the Beach Boys more that Chicago !!
Good times !!!
Does anyone remember the front page of The Register a week or so after the concert? There was a picture of a million little pot plants growing in the outfield on the front page! LOL! A friend and I had slept overnight in line, in the morning when they began to let us in, the crush of people was intense. There were so many people that when I bent over to tie my shoe, all I could see were feet and ankles and... a big ol bag of weed, just laying there on the ground! SCORE! I've always wondered how many of those babies were from that bag o'weed??? LOL!!!
is this concert on d.v.d????
It was an awesome concert and a gorgeous day. It was a blast!! Yes, I remember them asking us to stop jumping. There was so much excitement.
...ahh...memories; me and my cousin sat in line on the asphalt all morning 'till they opened the gates; we got a good spot on the field; awesome concert; and yes, I remember the stands moving with you people partying to the music...good times...
I went by myself and inspite of the hugh crowd I ran into my brother. I snuck in a pint of Cuarvo Gold. The stands were swaying up and down. Both bands jammed together at the end. I remember they did Jumping Jack Flash
I went by myself, most of my friends were into harder stuff. Inspite of the hugh crowd I ran into my brother. I snuck in a bottle of Cuarvo Gold. The stands and the fans were jumping. They jammed together at the end finishing with Jumping Jack Flash.
yea Irember the concert the Jumping Jack Flash jam is still etched in my mind after all these years
It was a great concert, I believe I also saw
the Beach Boys with America at a later date.
We sat in the Right Field level, and I remember
some dude who passed out and missed the entire
concert. I remember listing to a Phoebe Snow
song " All Over " that was playing over the sound system before the concert began. Funny I go to a great concert and it is the only song I remember. I did buy a T-shirt and I still have it. I was in the Marines at the time, so a shaved head did not look that great with a beach
boys tank top so I rarely wore it. I also have
no idea who I went with. Maybe my brother?
Greatest concert ever. I was 19 years old and I really thought the upper decks were going to collaspe they were swaying so violently. I remember going to the bathroom and they were all flooding because the pipes were broken from all the swaying. I remeber the ushers trying in vain for awhile to get people to stop jumping up and down and then finally giving up.
