28 On-The-Road Photos With Rock Bands Of The 1970s

Hit the road with some of the shaggiest acts of the seventies.

Go on the road with some of the biggest bands of the seventies.


The Beatles and other big bands of the 1960s proved that youth culture could be a market for albums and concert tickets. So by the 1970s, the road was open for rock bands to hit the road and tour America’s theaters, rock clubs and stadiums. 


Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Wings, and many more groups spent the decade cruising around the country on tour buses and jets, messing around backstage, and trashing hotel rooms.


Here’s some pics of the massive concerts and wild antics from the biggest acts of classic rock
