I was here in 1978.
The Texxas Jam was the informal nickname of an annual summer arena rock concert called the Texxas World Music Festival (1978-1988). It was held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas and in Houston, Texas at either the Astrodome or Rice Stadium on the campus of Rice University.
Artists who performed at the Texxas Jam: Headliners marked in bold.

Local battle of the bands winner: Blackstone
Walter Egan
April Wine
Sammy Hagar
Van Halen
Eddie Money

Note: Ted Nugent joined Aerosmith on stage for a rousing rendition of "Milk Cow Blues" Note: For comic relief between a couple of acts Cheech & Chong entertained the crowd Note: The high temperature was 98 degrees that day. The concert had hose sprinklers around the field edge to cool people off and they hosed the crowd down with firehoses from the stage.
