Originally Posted By velo In '77 I remember Vickie Sue Robinson, Tavares, and Papa Doo Ron Ron. I know there were others but the park was hugely crowded. Space Mountain had just opened and we watched Vickie Sue Robinson on the Tomorrowland Stage while we waited in line. I think I still have the program somewhere...
Originally Posted By John_CM Mine was 1993. I don't honestly remember any bands, otherwise I would have been there to see them. I'm a huge music fan. I do remember, and have on tape somewhere, a 1993 Grad Nite special that aired on either ABC or Disney Channel. It featured people like PM Dawn. But with multiple grad nites each year, I'd assume that certain bands were only there on certain nights (or just for the TV special).
Originally Posted By gadzuux I'm going back further than anybody so far - 1974. And WDW. Kool and the Gang (only one hit then - 'hollywood swingin') Brownsville Station (Smokin' in the Boy's Room) And on another night when I wasn't there - Rick Derringer (Rock n Roll Hoochie Coo)
Originally Posted By RangerPooh I don't recall anyone for gradnite 1997 I just rememeber there being dance clubs. As for gradnites still being held, I think it depends on it your school participates in it. The local HS here in Wa doesn't which is a shame as our niece, nephew, and daughter won't have those memories.
