Rock Concerts
Additionally, the Cape Cod Coliseum was host to many major rock concerts over the years during the summer months. Referred to as the "air-conditioned" Cape Cod Coliseum, it was basically a large concrete cube with a stage. The heat was an issue, but it wasn't until a show was over and the A/C had a chance to catch up that it would actually "rain" inside from all of the sweat from the crowd condensing on the ceiling. Iron Maiden, The Clash, The Allman Brothers, Santana, Elvis Costello, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Pat Benatar, Billy Squier, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper The Grateful Dead, Kiss, Peter Frampton, The Outlaws, The J.Geils Band, Talking Heads, Molly Hatchet, Rush, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and the Comets, Little Richard, Herman's Hermits, The B-52's, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Foghat, and Ozzy Osbourne are among the many artists who performed in concert at the Coliseum. Also REO Speedwagon, Heart, Foreigner, Men At Work, INXS....

Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or concerts:
“Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand:
Come and see my shining palaces built upon the sand.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
