Pine Knob hit the ground running from day one, hosting 72 shows during an initial summer that closed with Chuck Berry playin' a song like ringin' a bell and duck-walking across the proscenium stage. That first season – which included multi-night stands by Liza Minnelli, Neil Diamond, Pearl Bailey, Johnny Mathis and a production of the musical Hair established Pine Knob as a home for legends and a must-visit stop on touring itineraries for, quite literally, all of entertainment's biggest stars.
