What Bands Played Ector County Coliseum the Year You Were Born

The Ector Count Coliseum was built way back in 1954. You may not realize it but the first ever performer to hit the stage happened to be none other than The King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley.  That's right, the very first artist to preform at the Ector County Coliseum was Elvis. Pretty cool right? I think so. Through the years there have been plenty of epic concerts at the Ector County Coliseum, most of them happened when I was too young to go to any of them unfortunately.

The year I was born had a pretty good line up of amazing artists and I'm pretty proud of the Ector County Coliseum in 1981. Here are the bands that played in 1981 and some of the songs you may have heard if you were lucky enough to be in attendance.
