Michael Jackson

I seem to remember chaperoning my little sister to a "The Jackson 5" concert at the old Met Center in Bloomington MN circa 1973 but can't find any reference to it the concert. Was it the Osmond Brothers?

My search landing on this page which is a fun little read through Twin Cities music history. My parents moved here in 1969 and I was only 9 years old. Looks like I missed a lot of fun!

Apparently in 1967 Minneapolis was pretty cool -

KDWB and the Aquatennial sponsored "Happening '67" at the Minneapolis Auditorium. It was a "three day psychedelic feast," held on July 19-21. Sheets of brilliant silver mylar and colorful fabrics decorated the auditorium. Performers were Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, the Electric Prunes, and the Shadows of Knight.
