CINCINNATI — Crosley Field will be the site of one of the first of the inevitable barrage of summer pop festivals in the midwest. It also marks the first time a major league baseball field is being used for such a purpose (though the Beatles did play Shea Stadium once); they’re even letting people sit on the grass. The June 13th event will feature Traffic, 10 Years After, Mountain, Mott the, Hoople, Alice Cooper, Stooges, Savage 'Grace, Bob Seger, Teegarden and Van Winkle, Brownsville Station, Sky and the Mike Quatro Band.

The Mike Quatro Band? Yes, the former booking agent and promoter (Quatro and Gibb are doing this festival) has turned performer^, Quatro says he will be performing on a specially built $350,000 electronic grand piano. Each string is amplified separately and Quatro claims the instrument will “revolutionize piano music.” Quatro, at one time, played piano for the bubble-man supremo Lawrence Welk.
