The Tower Theater
The Tower Theater in Upper Darby is one of the most iconic symbols of rock and pop music in the mid-Atlantic states. The theater operates under the Live Nation/Electric Factory Concerts name and dozens of top contemporary stars like John Legend and Mary Jane Blige have rocked its stage. In fact, since the 1970s, it’s iconic towering marquee has read like a who’s who of rock and roll and Billboard chart-toppers. Famous for its amazing acoustic properties, several top bands used it to record live albums and videos, including David Bowie and The Average White Band.
Midnight Sun Concerts promoted its first concert at the Tower on June 24th, 1972 – it was Dave Mason and Buzzy Linhart – a whopping sell out. Reviewer Jonathan Takiff in the Philadelphia Daily News announced in the next day's paper that "Philly Finally has its Fillmore", making reference to New York's famed Fillmore East.
Midnight Sun's president, Rick Green, and his stage manager, Upper Darby native Billy Stevenson, were instrumental in adapting the Tower for that role. Their concerts became the stuff of local legend. The Tower introduced America to David Bowie and The Spiders from Mars in 1972, as well as the then-unknown Genesis with Peter Gabriel that same year; Genesis played a midnight concert with a $4 admission price.
Bruce before Born to Run
In September 1974, Bruce Springsteen – who had an early, strong, and long-lived fan base in Philadelphia – introduced the world to his new E Street Band, with Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan, at the Tower Theater. It was the first time in his career that Springsteen earned $5,000 for a night's work. He returned in early November for two sold-out shows; it would still be a year before his big breakthrough with Born to Run and the attendant publicity.
Other regular headliners included Jackson Browne, Lou Reed, Steve Miller, and various editions of the Jerry Garcia/Merle Saunders band. Prince also performed here in 1982 and 1997.
