This poster documents a rare U.S. appearance by Slade, who were chart‑topping glam‑rock icons in Britain but struggled for recognition across the Atlantic. At the same time, Leslie West was touring post‑Mountain, known for his powerhouse guitar work and collaborations with Jack Bruce and Corky Laing. The Wilkes College show brought together two contrasting acts — West’s blues‑heavy American rock and Slade’s flamboyant British energy — in a single evening of 1970s electric spectacle.
