The Students Need Athletics, Culture, & Kicks concert of March 23, 1975, was organized by Bill Graham to help out the San Francisco city schools. We bring you the unbelievable conclusion of that concert. Caution: do not sit on this record - IT's a vibrator!"

Danko formed the Rick Danko Band at the age of 12 or 13. By age 14, Danko had left the Simcoe Composite School and started playing local dance halls with his band the Starlights. The family never got around to changing it, and young Rick used this earlier date to his benefit: It meant that he could get a driver's licence earlier, get into bars at a younger age, etc. Since the birth certificate was never changed, Rick's driver's licence also contained the same date. Danko and the former Hawks initially performed as the Levon Helm Sextet, with saxophonist Jerry Penfound, later became the Canadian Squires, after Penfound left, and finally were billed as Levon and the Hawks.

Dylan's first album, Bob Dylan, released March 19, 1962, consisted of familiar folk, blues and gospel with two original compositions. The album sold only 5,000 copies in its first year, just enough to break even.

Students Need Athletics, Culture and Kicks, was a Bill Graham organization in theme and spirit. This one-day festival, on March 23, 1975 at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, had Dylan in its lengthy lineup of more than 20 performers. Photographer Michael Zagaris snapped this photo of Dylan playing electric for the crowd of 50,000.

Notes

When Neil Young closed the S.N.A.C.K. Benefit concert in San Francisco on March 23, 1975, he was playing with a one-of-a-kind lineup never to be duplicated. Also performing as part of the group were Bob Dylan and three members of The Band:Rick Danko, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson.
With additional help from a couple of Young's sidemen, they charged through a mixture of Young, Dylan and Band songs, ending with a twist on Bob Dylan's hit "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" heard here as "Knockin' on the Dragon's Door".
Broadcast on K101-FM Radio in San Francisco, presented here with comprehensive liner notes and images.
