Original Ticket Stub from the first FARM AID CONCERT from Champaign, IL Sep 22 1985!

Nelson and Mellencamp then brought family farmers before Congress to testify about the state of family farming in America. Congress subsequently passed the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 to help save family farms from foreclosure . This special concert featured all of these great acts: Alabama , Hoyt Axton , The Beach Boys , Jon Bon Jovi , Glen Campbell , Johnny Cash , David Allan Coe , John Conlee , Charlie Daniels Band , John Denver , Bob Dylan , John Fogerty , Foreigner , Vince Gill , Arlo Guthrie , Sammy Hagar , Merle Haggard , Daryl Hall , Emmylou Harris , Don Henley , Waylon Jennings , Billy Joel , George Jones , Rickie Lee Jones , B.
