Day On The Green: April 25, 1976

[David]

Bill Graham's Days On The Green took place at the Oakland Coliseum on April 25, 1976. Billed as "The British Are Coming," the inaugural outdoor festival featured UFO, Gary Wright, Status Quo, Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac & others. Bill Jones reviewed the concert in the Rock-N-Roll News.



Owing to overwhelming demand, Bill Graham Productions added a second show on May 1 -- "The British Are Back To Back" -- with essentially the same lineup.



You can find photos from the shows in your Rumours lyrics insert -- most of the outdoor live shots were taken at the Oakland 1976 Days On The Green. Here's a Windows Media file of Fleetwood Mac onstage at the opening festival in April, shot on a home movie camera from the audience. It's shaky & blurry, but it's Fleetwood Mac history. Home movies from those days were silent, so Judy the Video Goddess mixed some Mac music in the data file.
