The KZEW Story For almost two decades in Dallas, a strange, elephant-like creature adorned bumper stickers, billboards, and the T-shirts of young adults who called themselves "Zoo Freaks." The creature was the logo for radio station KZEW, the station that spoke for a generation of local baby boomers, blasting out rock 'n' roll, defining the lifestyle of the post-Woodstock generation, and hosting huge, free concerts that filled Fair Park and Reunion Arena. KZEW was a pioneer on the FM dial at a time when there were few FM stations and those that did exist drizzled out tranquilizing music for doctors' offices. After a meteoric rise to the top of the rock radio heap, The Zoo completely disappeared from the FM dial and does not exist today. To look at the history of KZEW is to look at the changing profile of Dallas and the evolution of "underground" radio into a more profitable, more cautious, less vital medium. KZEW-FM had its birth in 1973 when Ira Lipson and John Dew came to Dallas from WWW in Detroit, where they had worked in FM rock. The duo was hired to work at WFAA's AM station, but what they lusted after was a then little-used station, WFAA-FM, which played "beautiful music. " Dew somehow convinced the powers that be at the conservative Belo Corporation (The Dallas Morning News, Channel 8) to let him and Lipson try out a rock 'n' roll format on the company's FM signal. At the time, of course, almost all rock stations were on the AM band because cars came with AM radios. Belo's FM station was not doing much business with its beautiful music, so management was willing to let the "hippies" take a shot. For the price of a change in call letters, KZEW was born. One radio consultant has said that if you wanted to start an FM rock station in Dallas today, the cost would be $30 million. Texxas World Music Festival 1978 Texxas Jam 78 Texxas Jam was the informal nickname of an annual summer rock concert called the Texxas World Music Festival (1978–1988). It was held in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl, and in Houston, at either the Astrodome or the Rice Stadium on the campus of Rice University. The original Texxas Jam was a three-day festival held over the Fourth of July weekend in 1978 and encompassed rock and country. Texxas Jam was created by Louis Messina, promoter of Pace Concerts in Houston, and David Krebs, manager of the rock acts Ted Nugent and Aerosmith. Krebs wanted to duplicate the music festival California Jam II (held March 18, 1978, in Ontario, California) in Texas. Krebs was unfamiliar with the territory, so he contacted Messina in Houston. 1978 (July 1) Texxas Music Festival, Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Texas (General Admission – $12.50) Blackstone (Winner of the State-Wide "Battle of the Bands" for an opening slot on the 1978 Texxas Jam Walter Egan Van Halen (second appearance in Texas Eddie Money Atlanta Rhythm Section Head East Journey Heart Ted Nugent Aerosmith Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Cheech & Chong Notes: Ted Nugent joined Aerosmith on stage for a rousing rendition of "Milk Cow Blues". For comic relief, Cheech & Chong entertained the crowd between a couple of acts. The temperature reached 104 degrees that day (over 120 degrees on the field). To protect the Cotton Bowl, they covered the surface with black tarps. Over 100,000 people were in attendance on the hottest day of the decade. The concert had hose sprinklers around the field edge to cool people off, and they hosed the crowd down with firehoses from the stage. First aid stations were busy. This was the first southern stadium rock show since ZZ Top played to 80,000 people at UT Austin on September 1, 1974, and tore up the field. In the aftermath of the ZZ Top UT show, there was never supposed to be another stadium rock show in Texas again, an informal prohibition that lasted all of four years.
