Here's a link to an article about the bands that played at my old school back in the day. Just like the people in the article, no one believed me when I talked about this. Also, Bonnie Raitt played there, but it's not mentioned in the article. And legend has it that Bruce Springsteen was signed to play, but there was a fire in the auditorium and the school had to cancel his show. bands at my old school

Blimey!! That's not bad going!! Maybe some of those bands treated it like a "practice" gig to sharpen up for an upcoming tour or something like that...? The only bands who ever played my old school came from the school itself and were - pretty much - universally awful...
BTW: I recall BOC played a few Illinois high schools with Big Brother back in June 1972 - an interesting pairing in an interesting setting, for sure...

We didn't have any bands of any sort. School was a wild place and I doubt any band would appear due to it's notoriety. My son went to a better school - They had KT Tunstall and Edith Bowman (local girl come good)do a live show which was broadcast nationwide on the BBC.
Did I ever say I like KT Tunstall???
