Show Notes:
Currently known as Visions Veterans Memorial Arena (2025) and formerly known as the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena (1973-2014) and Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena (2014-2021).
Some sources note the venue as “Civic Center” for this concert. Research reveals the city never had a venue by that name. In the 1970s, concerts were held either at Harpur College (now Binghamton University) or the Broome County arena. However, the two previous concerts on the tour took place at venues with that name – the Augusta Civic Center in Augusta, Maine (25 May) and the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine (26 May) so the citation of “Civic Center” for this event was likely a simple carryover and in error.
