Through the majority of the 1970s, Weinstein, his brother Bob, and Corky Burger operated Harvey & Corky Productions in Buffalo, producing rock events on their own. Frank Sinatra, The Who, Jackson Browne, and the Rolling Stones were among the notable performers that Harvey & Corky Productions brought to Buffalo.
Jonathan A. Dandes, a close friend of Weinstein’s who followed him to Buffalo, called him “aggressive” and “consumed” in business dealings.
