Pure Prairie League isn’t just another legacy act rolling through town...these guys earned their place in American music. “Aime” became their breakthrough, climbing into the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 and staying there long enough to turn the band into one of the defining country-rock groups of the ’70s. "Let Me Love You Tonight" was a massive hit as well. And they’re one of the rare bands from that era whose songs still pop up across classic radio, film soundtracks, and even modern playlists because the harmonies just never aged.
They also helped launch some serious talent. Vince Gill...yes, that Vince Gill, got his first national spotlight as their lead singer. The band’s mix of rock, bluegrass, and smooth country harmonies made them a bridge between traditional country and the rise of the “soft rock” sound that dominated the charts.
If you grew up on AM radio or long highway drives through the desert, you know exactly why they mattered. Their records charted, their songs stuck, and their sound became part of the fabric of American radio.
Pure Prairie League

Rialto Theatre | 318 E Congress St | All ages, reserved seating
A band with Billboard hits… a band that helped shape an entire genre… and now a night in Tucson that’s going to feel like stepping right back into the golden age of harmony-driven country rock. You can get your tickets right now! Just click The Button.

Old Tucson stands as one of Arizona’s greatest living treasures...a place where nearly a century of Western history, filmmaking, and storytelling still echoes through every boardwalk and dusty street. Built in 1939 and reborn multiple times through fire, restoration and pure Tucson determination, it remains a cornerstone of our heritage.
Old Tucson wasn’t just a movie set...it was a piece of Arizona’s heartbeat. Built in 1939 for the film Arizona, rebuilt after the fire, and revived again and again, it stands because Tucson refuses to let its stories fade. Nearly every major Western star walked those streets. John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman… if the mountains look familiar in your favorite classic Western, chances are it was filmed right here.
And that’s why Old Tucson stays with people. The sound of boots on the boardwalk, the smell of dust in the air, the feeling that a showdown could break out at any moment, it’s a place that imprints itself on your memory. Even decades later, the nostalgia hits the moment you step through the gates. If you’ve never been, go. If you’ve been, you already know.
Yuletide brings all of that history and magic back to life. Festive lights, live shows, music, and that unmistakable Old West atmosphere turn the park into a living time capsule every December. Families have been coming here since the 1930s, long before Hollywood made it famous, and each holiday season the past returns in the best possible way, a blend of nostalgia, imagination, and pure Arizona storytelling.
If you want a holiday tradition rooted in Tucson history, Yuletide is it.
