description: The crowd at Rock Superbowl XII featuring the Rolling Stones at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on October 25, 1981. The ticket price was $15.60, including tax, and the show began at noon, with the doors opening at 9 am. The opening act was Van Halen. The concert was promoted by Cellar Door Productions and Beach Club Productions. This photograph was taken by Orlando radio personality, Mick Dolan. The Rolling Stones are an English rock and blues band formed in 1962 that have become one of the most successful musical acts of all time. The band enjoyed the height of their commercial and critical success during the 1960s and 1970s. The Tangerine Bowl has also been known as Orlando Stadium, the Citrus Bowl, Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium and is currently known as Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium. It opened in 1936 and has been home to numerous sporting and entertainment events throughout its existence. The Rolling Stones 1981 Tour was the first time a band had a corporate sponsorship, allowing Jovan Musk to pay them several million dollars to sponsor the tour without the band having to officially endorse the company. The band explained that "selling out" to corporate sponsors would help keep ticket prices down. The average ticket price was $16 and the tour grossed $50 million in tickets sales, the highest of any tour in 1981. This would be the last time the band toured the United States until 1989.

description: Mark Samansky, a popular radio personality, a pioneering DJ, and one of the earliest "shock jocks" in Orlando, Florida. He was half of the iconic “Baxter and Mark Show," which aired from 5:30 am to 10:00 am weekdays on 100.3 WDIZ-FM, from 1983 to 1992. Known for his twisted and irreverent sense of humor, extensive knowledge of rock music, and musical parodies, Samansky performed on-air and at various small Orlando venues, Samansky was a staple of rock radio in the region for 20 years. Samansky's radio career began in 1976 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, before he moved to Denver, Colorado; Chicago, Illinois; and finally, Houston, Texas, where he began a hit show with fellow disc jockey Alan Baxter, "The Baxter and Mark Show," which they brought to Orlando in 1983. The show was the #1 rated radio show among adults 18 to 34 years old in Orlando for a period. Samansky left the show in 1992 and moved to 740 WWNZ-AM in Orlando, where he remained until he was fired in 1993 for an off-color comment he made on-air. He next moved to the Orlando classic-rock station 96.5 WHTQ-FM, experiencing a ratings-topping summer in 1996 among 25- to 54-year-olds. Samansky later served a one-year stint at 101.1 WJRR-FM in 2000 alongside Larry the Cable Guy, and helped produce the future-famous comedian's first album. Samansky passed away in 2011.

After several successful tours as an opening band, The Supervillains began headlining their own national tours, often performing over 200 shows per year, and released eight studio albums as of June 2015. The band incorporated several horn players and other members for eight or nine years, but have since operated as a four-piece, with Maresco, Suldo, Daniel Grundrof on bass and Tom "T-Rex" Moulton on keyboards and guitar. After selling over 100,000 records, the group formed their own label, Rah Rah Rah Records, in 2011.

Thie first photograph features, from left to right, Aaron O'Riley on bass guitar, Bobby Koelble on electric guitar, Matt Hughen on drums, and Marc Clermont on percussion. The second photograph shows Koelble playing an acoustic guitar, and the third features Koelble playing an electric guitar, using a Rolling Rock beer bottle as a slide. Formed in 2000 by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Bobby Koelble, who was also a member of the seminal metal band Death, JunkieRush is an Orlando-based rock band that combines elements of funk, punk, Latin, reggae, ska and world music into a unique original sound. The band has gained a reputation for its live shows, performing up the east coast from Florida to New York, as well as the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Although quite a departure from his metal roots, JunkieRush still features the strong guitar work that Koelble is known for. The original lineup consisted of Koelble on vocals and guitar, Chris Charles on saxophone and keyboard, Aaron O'Riley on bass, Marc Clermont on percussion, and Matt Hughen on drums. As of 2015, the lineup consisted of Koelble, bassist/vocalist Matt Gallagher, saxophonist/flutist/vocalist Nathan Anderson, drummer Thatcher on drums, and percussionist George "Ito" Colon. The band's albums include Junkie Rush (2000), II (2004), Live (2006), and Musica (2009).

description: A crowd lined up down the street for a sold-out JunkieRush show at The Social, located at 54 North Orange Avenue in Downtown Orlando, Florida, on July 30, 2007. The Social is an Indie music venue in Downtown Orlando that hosts international, national, and local acts. With a mere 400-person capacity, the intimate setting has made the venue a staple in the Orlando music scene. Originally called The Downtown Jazz & Blues Club, it became Sapphire Supper Club in April 1995, and during its six-year run under that name, the venue showcased an A-list of indie-rock, swing, and folk acts and nurtured the budding careers of musicians that would rise to broader fame in bands, such as Seven Mary Three, My Friend Steve, and Matchbox Twenty. The venue became The Social in 2002, and has remained one of the most popular venues in Orlando. Neighboring Bar BQ Bar, at 64 North Orange Avenue, also appears in the photograph.

Music Fest at H2O Live!, located at 100 West Livingston Street in Downtown Orlando, Florida, on November 3, 2012. The E.L.L.A. Music Festival, which stands for Elevate.Listen.Love.Appreciate, was created in 2007 by Orlando musician, promoter, and producer Robert Johnson to celebrate the heart, talent, and contributions that Florida female artists give to their communities. In its fifth year in 2012, the female-centric festival added spoken word artists, visual artists and local vendors to the stacked musical lineup. Led by Michelle Beebs, this Orlando-based band combines ska, rock, funk, and soul, gaining notoriety through their high-energy performances and unapologetically ridiculous media content. The group consists of Beebs of kazoo and vocals, Jeremy Lovelady on guitar, Levon White on bass, Paul Brisske on drums, Bunky Garrabrant on trumpet, and Eric Christian on saxophone and flute. The band was discovered by legendary promoter Kevin Lyman and asked to join the Vans Warped Tour in 2013. They were filmed for the second season of the show Warped Roadies on the FUSE Network, and returned to the Warped Tour in 2014, performing on a larger stage. The band has since toured with notable bands such as Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, Suburban Legends, Five Iron Frenzy, Beautiful Bodies, and This Magnificent, and has shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Donovan Frankenreiter, Dirty Heads, Pepper, Cypress Hill, The Original Wailers, Zach Deputy, Keller Williams, The Lee Boys, BadFish, Dumpstaphunk, 100 Monkeys, Bobby Lee Rodgers, Big Bad VooDoo Daddy, and Perpetual Groove. Reel Big Fish's Aaron Barrett also produced their EP and their full length album. They were also featured on an episode of Travel Channel's RV Kings.

The band’s live performances incorporate an improvisational structure with groove-heavy rhythms. Their albums include flavor (2001); strobe light (2002); free (2005), which features Tom Constanten, a former keyboard player for the Grateful Dead; got problems (2009); funkUs meets the Curious Circus (2009); and coconut monkey (2012). Regularly performing throughout Florida, the band has appeared at premier music festivals, including the Purple Hatter's Ball in 2013, Bear Creek Music Festival in 2009 and 2011, Orange Blossom Jamboree in 2010 and 2011, Jambando in the Park in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and many others. They have shared stages with notable bands such as Galactic, Soulive, Dumpstaphunk, Robby Krieger of The Doors, Victor Wooten, Steve Kimock Band, Zach Deputy, and Consider the Source. The lineup is ever-changing, based around its core members: Adam Freeman on drums and percussion, Alex Ceserani on bass and vocals, Bill Bairley on keyboard and vocals, and Dave Mann on guitar and vocals.

description: Dickey Betts & Great Southern performing live at a private party of over 300 friends and family in the swamplands of Fruitville, Florida, on February 24, 2013. The first four photographs feature Betts on electric guitar and the fourth photograph shows James Varnado on drums. The fifth and sixth photographs feature Duane Betts and Dickey Betts on guitar, the fourth features a crowd of friends and family at the show, and the fifth features Pedro Arevalo on bass guitar. Forrest Richard “Dickey” Betts is considered one of the most influential guitar players of the 20th century. He was born in West Palm Beach, raised in Bradenton, and has lived in Sarasota for most of his life. Beginning at age 16, he began performing in a series of rock bands on the Florida circuit. A founding member of the Allman Brothers Band in 1969, Betts matched bandleader Duane Allman lick for lick on electric guitar, writing many of their songs. The guitar duo introduced melodic twin guitar harmony and counterpoint, redefining the traditional rhythm/lead roles of rock guitarists. When Allman died in a motorcycle accident in 1971, Betts and Duane’s brother, Gregg Allman, shared leadership of the band, with Betts becoming the sole guitar player and taking a larger role in writing and singing. Betts wrote and sang on the group’s biggest hit, "Ramblin’ Man" in 1973 Betts recorded his first solo album in 1974, and when the band split up in 1976, he formed Dickey Betts & Great Southern. He rejoined the Allman Brothers Band when they reformed in 1978.The band split up again for several years during the 1980s, reformed again in 1989, and Betts remained with them until he was suspended for substance abuse problems in 2000. He reformed Great Southern that year, adding his son, Duane Betts, on guitar. Along with the Allman Brothers Band, Betts was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.

description: Promotional photograph of the band, White Witch, featuring its five members, lead singer Ronald "Ronn" Goedert, guitarist Charles "Buddy" Richardson, keyboardist Hardin "Buddy" Pendergrass, bassist Loyall "Beau" Fisher, drummer Robert "Bobby" Shea, and another unidentified man. Ronn Goedert is dressed in a wizard costume. The band's name is listed on the bottom left of the photograph and the record label, Capricorn Records, is listed on the bottom right. Formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1971, White Witch was a glam, psychedelic, hard rock band that recorded two albums with Capricorn Records in the early 1970s. Pendergrass and Shea had once belonged to the popular Tampa area rock band, The Tropics, in the mid to late 1960s. Their name was a paean to "white magic," contrary to the "black magic" of groups such as Black Sabbath. The band would announce before their shows, "To bring good where there once was evil, to bring love where there once was hate, to bring wisdom where there once was ignorance—this is the power of White Witch." They toured to support their two records, opening for such established acts as Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad, and Billy Preston. The group was inducted into the Florida Musicians Hall of Fame's Florida Music Honor Roll.
