“Sunday Break (1976, Austin, Texas)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The event was first scheduled for Saturday, May 1, but was then moved to the morrow Sunday to avoid a conflict with an election.^[2] The chosen {{convert|130|acre|ha|adj=on}} site^[1] was located near the northeast corner of the intersection of Interstate Highway 35 and U.S. Highway 290.^[2]

The festival featured major acts of the time, such as America,^[3] Peter Frampton, Santana, and Gary Wright. The promoters had hoped to have The Band, The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Jefferson Starship, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young, but their schedules did not allow those to come participate. Also hoped were Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen, who both declined.^[1]

The gross income tallied ${{formatnum:532000}}, against expenses of ${{formatnum:425000}}, with an attendance of {{formatnum:56000}} spectators. The concert went well, with traffic flowing easily and medical assistance provided by the Austin YWCA’s^[4] Middle Earth program. Police forces were not invited inside the gates.^[1]

Sunday Break II

Local cartoonist Jaxon was hired to draw a map of the area for a following edition, named Sunday Break II,^[5] which took place on 5 September of the same year, under a severe summer heat,^[6] at a location outside of town known as Steiner Ranch (now a residential community) off RM 620 near Lake Austin, below Mansfield dam of Lake Travis.^[7] The event featured artists such as The Band,^[8] Chicago, England Dan & John Ford Coley,^[6] Fleetwood Mac,^[9] Peter Frampton again, and the Steve Miller Band.^[7]^[8] The crowd was estimated at {{formatnum:45000}} (for an expected attendance of {{formatnum:100000}});^[7] access to the area was seriously limited, unlike at the previous location, with only one road leading in, which got heavily congested, delaying the arrival of spectators. The performers were flown in by helicopter. The event gathered about ${{formatnum:350000}} whereas it had allotted ${{formatnum:800000}}, forcing Mayday Productions in bankruptcy.^[7]^[10]^[11]

But two babies being born, 2030 sunburned spectators being treated and almost {{formatnum:75000}} ticket holders hiking to the concert provided some pretty good sideshow entertainment. The area surrounding Steiner Ranch on Lake Austin was the main amusement. Cars inched toward the ranch with constant nudging by state troopers. Parking lot overflow stretched down the road for 15 miles, and the drivers lined the street on foot, armed with ice chests and blankets as they migrated toward the music in 95 degree-plus heat ({{convert|95|F|C|disp=out}}) on the Sunday before Labor Day, September 5. Inside the concert area, Middle Earth health authorities distributed water, while it lasted, and salt tablets to control the epidemic of heat stroke. England Dan/John Ford Coley, the Steve Miller Band, The Band, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac and some Austin locals provided music for 12 hours longer than most of the spectators remained at the concert. Relief from the roasting sun finally came, just in time for the appearance of Fleetwood Mac and the wind-up of the day-long festival. The biggest surprise of all came the next day when the concert’s promoter, Mayday Productions, claimed that they were the victims of the concert tragedy. Gate receipts showed a ${{formatnum:700000}} shortage and Mayday’s president, Win Anderson, blamed the loss on a massive ticket fraud. Suddenly Austin’s "goodbye to summer" celebration turned into a major issue. Mayday was faced with four lawsuits, including one from angry ticket holders who were denied entrance due to traffic congestion. Unpaid Mayday employees also filed suit as did Steiner Ranch area residents who claimed their security had been threatened by the concert crowd. The court responded with a temporary restraining order against future concerts at Steiner Ranch. So the long, hot summer drew to a close with the heated issue of Sunday Break II. Whether on the head or in the mouth, water helped soothe listeners during the all-day outdoor event. |ref= |bibcode= }}
