99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1973!
That year PLR presented Emerson, Lake & Palmer at New Haven Coliseum. ELP hit the road in late 1973 to support its fourth studio album, “Brain Salad Surgery,” which featured the single Jerusalem. Joining them at the Coliseum were special guest Stray Dog.
