The Dr Pepper Central Park Music Festival
Wollman Rink, New York, NY, USA
OU: Some concert venues evoke memories of an entire era. When I think of summertime concerts in the 1970's, Wollman Rink is such a place for me. I have vivid memories of waiting all day in the hot sun on lines that snaked their way along the walking paths of Central Park. Meeting like-minded people who wanted to sit close to the stage was part of the experience.
I have no idea why I sat in the cheap seats this day since all the tickets were inexpensive to begin with. The orchestra must have been sold out, but it worked out for the best. The sound was crisp and clear where I sat, Gabriel was magnificent, and the tape is one of my best. I'll never forget the blood red sunset reflecting off the boulders outside the rink as the crowd chanted along with "Biko." This was my last concert at Wollman Rink, and, sadly, the only one I ever recorded there. When the festival moved to Pier 84 the next year, I didn't follow. For me, it was one more sign that an era had ended.

Thanks Dave!!!
Great post, thank you so much - I love the recordings from this tour :)
The sound is mono but extremely clear, great recording, great show. Thanks to Cornerbrook for taping and sharing.
Wollman Rink was the best. Saw Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello and Devo for $5.
