The Carolina Coliseum Eagles concert in Columbia, SC was just a few days after their July 29 concert at the Mississippi River Festival in Edwardsville, IL. Jimmy Buffett opened for this Carolina Coliseum concert, and this was part of the ‘One of These Nights’ tour. The Coliseum is part of the University of South Carolina.
The Eagles were also at the Coliseum in June 1977. Even earlier, while on tour with Yes during their ‘Close to the Edge’ tour, the Eagles had a stop at the Carolina Coliseum on October 2, 1972. In fact, the Eagles opened several shows for Yes in 1972. Jon Anderson of Yes had a funny story to tell (in a short video) about a cream pie attack from the Eagles that happened backstage after the last show with the Eagles in October 1972. Apparently, nudity and the police were even involved.
