A community member has announced an exciting event hosted by Great Moments In Vinyl, as they are set to perform a live tribute to "The Hits of 1974." This nostalgic concert will take place at the Joliet Area Historical Museum’s Indoor Auditorium Theater on Friday, November 8th, starting at 7 pm, with doors opening at 6:15 pm.
The year 1974 was a remarkable time in music history with many artists achieving significant milestones. Paul McCartney’s release, recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, climbed into the Top 10. Meanwhile, John Lennon, with a little help from Elton John, celebrated his first #1 hit. The Eagles and Eric Clapton also experienced their first chart-topping songs. Additionally, the Electric Light Orchestra and Lynyrd Skynyrd found themselves in the Top 10, while Steely Dan had the biggest hit of their career. An unexpected surprise came from Supertramp as they broke into the U.S. Top 40 with a B-side track, marking their breakthrough. Not to be left out, The Rolling Stones returned with a new album that year.
Great Moments In Vinyl promises to deliver not just these hits but also other memorable tunes and a few surprises as they pay homage to the music of 1974. It is an event not to be missed for music lovers and those nostalgic for the sounds of the 70s.
Attendees can enjoy a beverage bar, snack vendor, and access to the museum’s galleries and exhibits. Tickets are reasonably priced at $14 for museum members and $17 for the general public. The museum is located at 204 N. Ottawa St. in downtown Joliet.
