Sammy Hagar Nazareth Van Halen Boston Heart Blue Öyster Cult Notes: TKO was managed by the same management as Heart at the time, which is the reason for their appearance on the bill. KTXQ-FM Q-102 simulcast much of this concert throughout the day, with TKO, Hagar, Nazareth, and portions of Heart's show aired live. Van Halen's set was not broadcast. KTXQ had to unplug Heart's sound equipment for Boston's set, which they did before the band took the stage. As a result, only a portion of Heart's set was aired, the sound being broadcast from microphones placed around the Cotton Bowl. 1979 (Sunday, August 26) – Cotton Bowl in Dallas (General Admission – $15.00) "A Farewell To A Texas Summer" Officially called "The Last Concert of the Last Weekend of the Last Summer of the Seventies".

The Eagles refused to play at first and were an hour late going on due to issues with the 'Hard Rock' line up. 1981 (July 18) – Astrodome in Houston (General Admission – $17.00) REO Speedwagon Heart Blue Öyster Cult Foghat The Rockets Notes: Savvy was originally scheduled to open, but was bumped by REO Speedwagon's management (same management as The Eagles in 1980). (Show lineup confirmed by Steve Jones of Savvy.) Notes: The '81 Jam was held in Houston that year because of the intense summer heat in Texas.
