Rooftop Concert: Great Moments In Vinyl

About this event

\***PLEASE RESPOND AFTER YOU PURCHASE YOUR TICKET** The Joliet Historical Museum is hosting its Rooftop Music Series. For those of you that have attended past performances, you can appreciate the venue and the band. Great Moments in Vinyl will by playing the hits of 1976. 1976! The year of the U. S. Bicentennial. The same year that Apple produced its first computer, CB radios became a fad, 7-Eleven served their first Big Gulp, and Honda marketed its first Accord. We headed to movie theaters in droves to see both *Rocky* and *All the President’s Men* that year. Or stayed home to watch *Happy Days* and *Laverne and Shirley*…or perhaps a brand new TV series called *The Muppet Show*. But if you were more of a music fan, you probably visited your local record store to help make *Frampton Comes Alive* the best selling album of 1976…and to give Paul McCartney and his group Wings the #1 song of the year. Rock fans got acquainted with newcomers Tom Petty, Warren Zevon, and Heart in ’76. David Bowie took us on a new musical adventure. And artists toiling in obscurity Bob Seger, Steve Miller, and Thin Lizzy made their commercial breakthroughs. But that’s just scratching the vinyl surface. They’ve got more hit songs and more highlights to treat you to...plus a handful of surprises… Tickets can be purchased on-line at the https://www.jolietmuseum.org/upcoming-programs.html Ticket prices are $21 (Ticket $20; fee \~$1.20).
