September 1979

Our next 20 20 Retro Countdown journey takes us back to late September 1979..

To the week when some of America's biggest artists gathered at Madison Square Garden for the No Nukes Concert... the event which attracted around 500,000 people - was released as a record and also turned into a movie.

 

 

This week in 1979 also marks the release of a new TV series... centred around a character who first turned up in comic books and radio serials in the 1920's..

 

Meanwhile... in grand final action... St George defeated Canterbury Bankstown in the NSWRL decider...

 

And check out this action from the 1979 VFL Grand Final... Carlton got the Magpies by less than a goal..

 

We'll remember those moments and play the top 20 from this week in 1979 on the next 20 20 Retro Countdown!
