A bit of a conflict of genres, I wouldn't consider Kool & The Gang a disco band, though they are a dance band. There were still some genuine R & B groups of the late '70's filtering through the disco craze, Mandrill, Brass Connection, Earth Wind & Fire, etc. Though they blossomed in the early '80's 4 sure.
Probably need a marque opening act for Van Halen, I would imagine fans of '80's hair bands are married with children by now and not big concert goers. Though Buffalo is known more for R & B and jazz [see Rick James]
