What happened to Schaefer Music Festival?

The Schaefer Music Festival ran 1968-1976 as an affordable ($1-$3 ticket) free-summer concert series at Wollman Rink. The 1976 season was the last under the Schaefer name; sponsorship passed to Dr. Pepper in 1977 and the series continued under new names and, eventually, new venues (moving to Pier 84 in the early 1980s after noise complaints).
