Actually, these acts rocked the hall, as in Memorial Hall. On March 10th, 1984, the iconic R&B/pop supergroup New Edition and equally iconic rap collective Run D.M.C. played a concert in Dayton. Singer Shannon also performed at the show.
There are no articles or accounts of this show that could be found. But, below is a setlist and a video of a Boston concert of New Edition’s in 1985 that gives you an approximation of the 1984 Dayton event (also below is a spiffy concert poster). If you attended this show in ‘84, give us a shout. I would’ve loved to have seen this concert.
