Pittsburgh band Diamond Reo ("Ain't That Peculiar") opened the show, their first ever public performance. Aerosmith played second - they arrived via helicopter during Diamond Reo's set and landed on the baseball field across the street from the bandshell. When their helicopter flew over the crowd they received more applause than Diamond Reo did at any point during their set.
Brownsville Station was the headliner. I met Cub Koda from Brownsville in 1980 and he remembered playing this show - "Yeah, Aerosmith opened for us and we blew them off the stage!" was his comment, not exactly how I remembered it. :) R.I.P. Cub!

Researching this date on the Internet, it often shows up as 10/26/74 or 10/24/74. For years it was listed as 10/13/74 but it's now pretty certain it was 10/6/74 It was definitely a Sunday, and for an outdoor show in the Pittsburgh area, it had to be pretty early in October!
