The first live show was over seventy years ago, 12 June 1942, in Baltimore's Memorial Stadium; additional shows were held in Baltimore on June 13, 14 and 15. The show incorporated weapons firing, tank manuevers, cavalry riding, and tactical formation demonstrations. There was even a jeep comedy routine and a jeep jamboree. The Army War Show toured eighteen US cities for the latter part of 1942, ending just before Christmas in Atlanta. The shows were seen by sellout crowds, even in enormous stadiums. Over 60,000 attended each of the 4 shows in Baltimore, and 81,000 people attended the show at Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
