AUGUST 19 |
THE BRITISH INVASION OFFICIALLY BEGAN ON THIS DAY IN 1964 WHEN THE BEATLES ARRIVE IN CALIFORNIA TO KICK OFF THEIR FIRST AMERICAN TOUR AT THE 17,000 SEAT COW PALACE IN SAN FRANCISCO WHERE THEY PLAYED 12 SONGS, WHICH MADE UP THEIR SETLIST FOR THE ENTIRE TOUR.
IN 1969, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, STEPHEN STILLS, AND DAVID CROSBY APPEARED ON THE DICK CAVETT SHOW. THE EPISODE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS “THE WOODSTOCK SHOW”, AS MANY OF THE PERFORMERS, AND CAVETT’S AUDIENCE, CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE CONCERT FOR THE TAPING.
AND BIRTHDAYS TODAY INCLUDE VOCALIST IAN GILLAN OF DEEP PURPLE, WHO’S 78, BASSIST JOHN DEACON, FORMALLY OF QUEEN, WHO’S 72, AND THE LATE GINGER BAKER OF CREAM, BORN TODAY IN 1939.
