Was there and I think two more....hot as hell. A buddy and I filled two galllon water coolers with beer. One of us went in and the other threw the coolers over the fence. We had beer while everybody else was drinking cokes and passing out from the heat.

Went to the 1982 (Journey headlined) and 1985 (Deep Purple headlined) jams. Nasty hot on the field of the Cotton Bowl in 1982, so in 1985 I got seats in the stands, where the upper level covers part of the lower....so had some shade, and kept dry during a brief rain at the start.

I remember all the Where is Sammy? signs...he was at several of the jams.

Didn't make it to the '78 Jam but made it to 4 others and they were ALL hot as Hell!

Good times and wouldn't have missed those shows for anything.

A friends mother drove 5 of us teenagers to the Jam - all sophomores in high school. She dropped us off, got a hotel room for herself and came to pick us up once it was over. Still can’t believe she did that - what a great experience we all had. Still have the t-shirt, now memorialized in a nice frame!

I'm sure she won the vote for coolest mom.

In 1978 I was living about 10 minutes from the Cottonbowl. My neighbor got a free ticket somewhere. He ran up early in the morning, got in, got the wrist band but they didn't take his ticket away.
So he came back home, we drink a bunch of beer, he gave me the (used) ticket and we both went back and got in free!
What a show that was!
