SNACK Benefit Concert information


SNACK, an acronym for Students Need Athletics, Culture and Kicks (a phrase thought up by columnist Herb Caen),[1] was a benefit concert held in San Francisco on March 23, 1975.[2] Playing to an audience of over 60,000 fans at Kezar Stadium, the concert, planned and produced by rock promoter Bill Graham, brought together the greatest array of rock artists at a single event since the Woodstock Festival in 1969. It was the largest rock benefit concert ever held at that time.[3] The show included a one-time-only collaboration of Bob Dylan, The Band, and Neil Young as well as Santana, The Doobie Brothers, The Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Starship. Among the surprise guests were actor Marlon Brando and baseball star Willie Mays.
