The back story I was told for this concert was it was produced by a local South rock band that had strong financial backing and the point was not to necessarily reap financial reward as much as it allowed them an audience for their opening band, "Early Grey".. from Ft Lauderdale. The story goes they were so ecstatic about the show, they partied post show so hard that they missed their scheduled flight the next morning to do their own promoted show again with Queen in Jacksonville and had to charter a plane to get them to their concert on time, but they could afford it. Not sure if they any success after those shows
Kansas did not Play at this concert. Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush opened for Queen. It was an incredible place to have a concert on the water. Marine Stadium hosted speed boat races and this concert was one of the few times I had been to see music. Mahogany Rush's set list was nothing but Hendrix and they rocked it! Queen was unknown but for a few singles climbing up the charts at the time. Everyoneone at that concert would never be the same! Introduction was Mercury's operatic voice and then Brian May's incredible Guitar solo's. The band was something no one had ever seen before and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen-bar none!
