4. Frank Zappa

TRUTH! Fans filled the seats…and aisles of Hara Arena for Frank Zappa in on November 20, 1974.

The normally 5,500-seat venue was “unofficially” stretched well beyond that, with estimates approaching 10,000. Hara Arena might have shut down that night had the real numbers been released.

5. BB King

TRUTH! "The first show I ever went to was Grand Funk Railroad, with B.B. King as the opener," Don Habil, an avid Dayton music fan, said. "It was a weird crowd. Half the crowd was well-dressed black people and the other half 20-year-old dirty white punks."

6. Cher

TRUTH!  Cher performed at the Nutter Center three times. Once in 2000 and twice in 2003.

7. Beastie Boys

TRUTH! The Beastie Boys performed with Sheryl Crow and Ben Harper at a Get Out and Vote '08 concert at Hara Arena.

This year, "organizers" of the 4/20 Limp Bizkit "concert" at the Wayne Avenue Sunoco said the band was coming to town and this time it was "for reals."

Better luck next year.
