America's 1978 Concert History

America is a British-American rock band formed in 1970 by Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley. The trio met in London as sons of US Air Force personnel and began performing together while stationed there. They gained popularity in the 1970s for their close vocal harmonies and light acoustic folk rock sound, releasing a series of albums and singles that received regular airplay on pop and soft rock radio stations.

I saw America at the SMSU Hammons Center in Springfield, Missouri on March 5, 1978. It wasn’t listed in concert list. I have my ticket stub.

Found the update and it is MISSING ON HERE

Something is clearly missing. The location of America is 1979, probably after August 1979. Place is PA, likely Scranton OR Wilkes Barre. I know 100% there was a concert of America - I SAW IT WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE. We don't remember warm up, but we THINK it was Pure Prairie League with Amie, What You Gonna do. But it could have been Nitty Gritty - we just aren't sure, we thing PPL was the correct partner.
We cannot find this concert ANYWHERE! But WE KNOW IT HAPPENED in 1979. My first senior High School, and my second concert overall. It definitely happened.
