DECEMBER 6
ON THIS DAY IN 1977 JACKSON BROWNE RELEASES ‘RUNNING ON EMPTY’, A LIVE ALBUM COMPILED FROM PERFORMANCES AT VARIOUS STOPS ON HIS SUMMER TOUR. ALTHOUGH A “LIVE” ALBUM, NONE OF THE TRACKS HAD EVER APPEARED ON A PREVIOUS STUDIO ALBUM.
IN 1971 DEEP PURPLE RECORD THE ICONIC TRACK “SMOKE ON THE WATER” AT A NIGHTCLUB, AFTER THE MONTREUX CASINO, WHERE THEY PLANNED TO RECORD, BURNED DOWN. THEY GET KICKED OUT THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE OF NOISE COMPLAINTS AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETE THE RECORDING OF THE ‘MACHINE HEAD’ ALBUM USING THE ROLLING STONES’ MOBILE UNIT.
THE LATE RANDY RHOADS IS BORN TODAY IN 1956 IN SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA. RANDY IS BEST KNOWN AS THE GUITARIST FROM QUIET RIOT AND LATER THE OZZY OSBOURNE BAND.
