Geocache Description:

this is a natural amphitheater.

The Mississippi River Festival was a summer outdoor concert series held during the years 1969-1980 on the campus of S I U E. MRF consisted of a variety of popular rock, folk, bluegrass, and classic music performers.The more popular groups, such as The Who, Yes, Chicago, The Eagles, and The Grateful Dead shows were heavily-attended. Some shows attracting crowds in excess of 30,000. It is noteworthy that Jackson Browne appeared as both a backup band and ultimately, as a lead act in 1977. He also wrote two of his songs for the live Running on Empty album in a nearby Holiday Inn at the intersection of I-270 and Illinois Route 157. It is estimated that over one million visitors attended MRF over 12 summers. crazy how siue neglected such a nice place
