2SM Victoria Park Concert 1979
During the 1970s, radio station 2SM staged a series of free concerts in Sydney. The February 1979 concert turned out to be its last at Victoria Park and featured Dragon, The Angels, Split Enz, Kevin Borich and Sports. Sydney City Council subsequently banned outdoor shows there following complaints about crowd behaviour (Doc Neeson was knocked out by a flying beer can) and damage to the park.
Jands sound system included both 4-way and Concord speaker cabinets. Jands also supplied lighting and the outdoor roof for the concert.

I was at that concert as a kid. It was pure gold for a 12 yo boy. I recall we got there at about 8.30 am and sat up the front all day, there were not many people there at 8.30, they turned up soon after though and the place was packed. Great day and I remember the sound too, it was the goods.
