majestic hills CONCERT ARCHIVE
Linn, wi (near lake geneva)
1967-1971
(UPDATED 1/10/24)
Background
This is a website dedicated to the archival of concerts held at the Majestic Hills Bandstand in Linn, WI, near Lake Geneva. Majestic Hills was a snow ski facility in winter and had a nine-hole golf course and driving range in the non-winter months. Owned by the Grunow family, in the mid 60's Bill Grunow, Jr. transformed a storage barn into a music bandstand and began booking top name rock & roll groups. However, on June 26, 1971, narcotics agents raided the Majestic Hills grounds and arrested 24 people on drug sales and/or possession charges. Unfortunately that spelled the end of booking big names into the Majestic Hills venue. Coincidentally, the day before the police raid, apparently Belkin Productions/Irv Azzof Associates who were leasing the facility in June 1971, booked the Allman Brothers to play on August 28, 1971 with Cowboy as the suggested support act. That booking however was subsequently cancelled.
Archive
The shows included in this archive have been independently assembled by The Tour Archive. These shows were shown at one time or another as scheduled at Majestic Hills and noted as cancelled only if evidence of a cancellation was published or all concerts scheduled after June 26, 1971. These concerts have come from newspaper listings, copies of Majestic Hills concert schedules as well as articles written about the musical period of Majestic hills from 1967 - 1971.
In Search Of
Our goal is to assemble the most accurate, comprehensive archive for concerts held at the Majestic Hills Bandstand. Ultimately we hope to confirm all dates with newspaper ads, performance reviews, ticket stubs and posters. If you have any information on any Majestic Hills Bandstand concert during this time period please let us know. Send us an email of your information, or scan or send a copy of a newspaper ad, performance review, ticket stub or poster, or just your recollection of the performance.
