Tanglewood is on the grounds of a grand old estate in Lenox, MA. As stated, it is most known as the summer home of the BSO.

In addition to its main hall, there is a secondary performance space that is exclusively for classical. And yes, music school, etc.

Because of the grounds, they've always sold lawn tickets, and in addition to classical, there's, a history of popular music performance as well. James Taylor has played a lot of 4th of July concerts.

My first concert experience ever was in 1970: Preservation Hall Jazz Band, John Sebastian (who had played Woodstock) and, Chicago, who were huge that summer.

I had missed the "Bill Graham Presents the Fillmore at Tanglewood opener a week or two before: It's a Beautiful Day, Jethro Tull, and The Who (who claimed at the time that it would be their final performance ever if "Tommy").

The third concert in the series, which I did attend, was Voices of East Harlem, Miles Davis (playing "Birches Brew"), and Santana (also huge, after Woodstock, and promoting "Abraxas").
