Description

The earthquake that struck San Francisco during the 1989 World Series inspired benefit events across the country for 'quake victims. This concert, held south of Santa Cruz in Watsonville, was a television/radio telethon and featured some very popular performers including Santana, Los Lobos and The Neville Brothers. The theme of the benefit, 'It's Everybody's Fault,' stressed the universality of relief efforts.

By the 1980s, multiple-night concerts at smaller, single venues were giving way to giant arena shows, and event tickets began to reflect the change from up-close-and-personal to binoculars-advised. Concert tickets from the beginning of this period still sported background colors, band icons or small, familiar symbols on their faces and were computer generated, standard in size and included the all-important seat and row number data. By the end of the decade, much of the special imagery had disappeared. Although these tickets may be less flashy, they are mementos of some of the greatest shows in rock, punk rock and heavy metal history.
