Rockford Speedway August 17th 1980

This is a date that will go down to Rockford Speedway ROCK history.

The "Superstar Showdown of The Century" the poster read. For 13 bucks this was your day of rock.

Ronnie James Dio lead Black Sabbath through all the corners at The Rockford Speedway with this amazing set list according to Setlist

Two Iommi guitar solos?? That's worth the 13 bucks right there!

The Rockford Speedway have hosted some amazing concerts in the 1970's/1980's and I know a lot of you have attended because you've told me.
