The origins of arena rock were in the 1960s, sometimes dated to when The Beatles played Shea Stadium in New York in 1965. Also important was the success of the large pop and rock festivals like Monterey (1967) and Woodstock (1969) and the use of large stadiums for American tours by bands including The Rolling Stones, Grand Funk Railroad and Led Zeppelin. The tendency developed in the mid-1970s as the increased power of amplification and sound systems allowed the use of larger and larger venues. Smoke, fireworks and sophisticated lighting shows became staples of arena rock performances. It has been argued that the rise of arena rock marked the end of the idealism of the 1960s #arenarock #rock #hardrock #s #music #poprock #classicrock #rocknroll #rockmusic #rockband #metal #smusic #softrock #heavymetal #srock #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #glamrock #progressiverock #alternative #vinyl #newsingle #newmusic #posthardcore #crimson #metalcore #livemusic #shockrock #rockandroll #bloodborne
