Rolling Stones in Rockford Illinois 1981 by petition
Forums:
I lived in Rockford from 74-79 after my Dad's job took him there after living in Canoga Park, Ca. in the 60's and early 70's. The local radio station started a drive to get people to sign a petition to get the Stones to play there.The Stones seccumbed. When my dads job took us to MD in 79 that's where I discovered the GD and became hooked.

Damn cornbread! I was there. Memorial Day 1979. We lived 2 miles away across the street from RCSP and walked there. Did you see REO, The Cars and others in August 79 there. They had great shows there in the 70's. Rockford didn't suck 4winds.
Where did you go to school?

That was the only show I saw there but I remember hearing of those other shows and wanting to go.
Somehow me and my sister managed to convince our parents to drive us and a couple friends there from naperville and pick us up after the show. Or maybe that was the only way they allowed us to go, if they drove us. lol.
