Great Moments In Vinyl play The Hits of 1974

Great Moments In Vinyl band plays "The Hits of 1974" Friday, Nov. 8th at the Joliet Area Historical Museum

Great Moments In Vinyl performs a live tribute to "The Hits of 1974" in the Joliet Area Historical Museum's Indoor Auditorium Theater venue on Friday, November 8th at 7pm (doors open 6:15pm).

Quite a few things have changed since 1974, but remarkably, a lot of the music that came out that year still sounds great! Paul McCartney released a single he had recorded at Abbey Road Studios, and it went into the Top 10, while John Lennon got some assistance from Elton John and had his first #1 hit. The Eagles also enjoyed their first #1. And so did Eric Clapton…with a song he didn’t like and had to be talked into putting out.

The Electric Light Orchestra made the Top 10 themselves. And so did Lynyrd Skynyrd. Plus Steely Dan had the biggest hit of their career. And an unknown band named Supertramp reached the Top 40 with a B-side that was their breakthrough in the U. S., and The Rolling Stones were back with a new album! Great Moments In Vinyl will have more hit songs and highlights to treat you to plus a handful of surprises when they pay tribute to The Hits of 1974.
