Baltimore’s first Artscape festival was held in June 1982. Usually, concerts have been held outside but the Ray Charles concert was inside the Fifth Regiment Armory. It’s been a long time since then but I think it was indoors because it was raining.
Charles was great but his show seemed like it was out of a time capsule. He had a big band and the Rayletts. Charles, whose style was innovative in the 1950s and 1960s now seemed like he was performing in an old format.
Sad!
