FEB 15
ON THIS DAY IN 1968, JOHN LENNON AND GEORGE HARRISON FLY TO INDIA TO STUDY MEDITATION WITH MAHARISHI*. PAUL AND RINGO JOINED A FEW DAYS LATER, AND DURING THEIR STAY, THEY’D WRITE MOST OF THE SONGS FOR “THE WHITE ALBUM.”
TODAY IN 1975, RUSH RELEASE ‘FLY BY NIGHT’, THEIR SECOND ALBUM AND THE FIRST WITH NEW DRUMMER / LYRICIST NEIL PEART* WHOSE INFLUENCE MOVES THE BAND CLOSER TO THE PROGRESSIVE STYLING THAT EVENTUALLY MAKES RUSH A LEGEND OF THE GENRE.
AND IN 1974 DEEP PURPLE RELEASE ‘BURN’, THEIR FIRST ALBUM TO FEATURE THEN-UNKNOWN DAVID COVERDALE ON VOCALS AND GLENN HUGHES ON BASS AND VOCALS. IT WENT ON TO BE A NUMBER ONE ALBUM IN FOUR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND A TOP 10 ALBUM IN THE U.S.
