August Jam
August Jam was an outdoor concert held on Saturday, August 10, 1974, at the Charlotte Motor Speedway outside Charlotte, North Carolina, in the United States. The concert promoter was Kaleidoscope Productions and it was sponsored by radio stations WAYS and WROQ. The concert featured the Allman Brothers Band, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Foghat, Black Oak Arkansas, the Marshall Tucker Band, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Grinderswitch, PFM and others.〔(Scan of Newspaper Ad for Concert )〕 The Eagles were booked to play but cancelled. It was the largest concert ever held in the state of North Carolina and one of the largest in the U.S. at that time, with an estimated attendance in excess of 200,000.〔Fielden, Greg: ''Charlotte Motor Speedway'', page 72. MBI Publishing, 2000.〕
==History==
The November 1974 issue of ''Circus'' magazine had this to say about Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's performance: 〔November 1974 issue of ''Circus'' magazine - "ELP - ON TOUR WITH THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS〕
There was a limited number of tickets sold prior to the concert, and when many thousands of additional fans showed up on the day of the performances, those thousands proceeded to crash the fences and rush to the infield. Many of the facilities were overwhelmed due to the crowds, and the weather did not cooperate either, producing a sporadic rain that drenched the concert goers, and turned the infield into a muddy quagmire. However, the music went on as scheduled.
