In the 70's LSU and Baton Rouge drew in it's fair share of great musical acts. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Stones, The Who, Yes, Rod Stewart, Bob Dylan, Chicago, Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, America, The Moody Blues, (to name a very few) played either the Assembly Center or Centroplex. Willie Nelson and various friends used to make a mud pit out of the old state fair grounds every May. The times back then were very free and easy. "Polic-atics" (that's police + politics) got in the way and ended a wonderful memory. The Bayou Country Superfest will be HUGE for Baton Rouge. Thank you Metro Council and Convention/Visitors Center. It's time for ol' BR to dance again and this is just what we need to strike up the bands.
