“Picking which groups were to appear on campus also involves a certain amount of market savvy, the students found. The kids here just don’t want to go to a concert, says Ron Azoff, marketing and search staffer. They want to see a specific performer.”
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) – Feb. 12, 1976
“Purdue is fast becoming noted for excellent rock concerts, thanks to the hard work and expertise of a newly formed group called the student concert committee.”
