    I was there! KC & Kool and 2 other Bands.
    I was thinking maybe Peaches & Herb were there. I have a ticket stub somewhere.

    Was anybody else there? I've been trying to remember the bands that were there. I remember K.C and the Sunshine Band was in front of ther Castle and Kool and the Gang was in Tomorrowland on that big stage. Someone else was at the old Tomorrowland Terrace...some solo artist, I think. Anybody have a better memory than me? Anybody not embarassed to admit you saw K.C and the Sunshine Band?
    Thanks!

    Lets see if we can answer Storkel's question 43 years after the events. I'm not sure if the event in question, took place at Walt Disney World or at Disneyland, but probably DL given the acts.
    After a little investigation, I have found the following:
    Walt Disney World Grad night 1980
    Acts : K.C. and the Sunshine Band
    Teri De Sario
    Tantrum
    Robert John

    Disneyland Grad night 1980
    Acts : K.C. and the Sunshine Band
    Kool and the Gang
    Teri De Sario
    Papa Doo Run Run
    Shalamar
