The inaugural
California Jam was a legendary rock music festival co-headlined by
Eagles, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It
was held at the Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario, California, on April
6, 1974. It attracted over 300,000 paying fans and set world records for
the loudest amplification system ever installed, the highest paid
attendance, and highest gross receipts. The performances were broadcast
live on FM radio and broadcast nationwide on U.S. television.
Deep Purple made the eager crowd wait nearly an hour until near dusk
before they went on stage. At the climax of the show, guitarist Ritchie
Blackmore trashed his guitar and equipment then attacked one of the ABC
network's video cameras. The infamous mishap with a pyrotechnic effect
then caused one of Blackmore's amplifiers to explode, which briefly set
the stage on fire. The group had to hastily leave the concert by
helicopter to avoid a confrontation with furious fire marshals and a
potential arrest for the pyrotechnics.
