AUGUST 18
ON THIS DAY IN 1962, AFTER JUST TWO HOURS OF REHEARSAL TOGETHER, RINGO STARR MAKES HIS LIVE DEBUT WITH THE BEATLES AT THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY DANCE IN BIRKENHEAD, ENGLAND. THIS WAS THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE BEATLES AS THE WORLD WOULD COME TO KNOW THEM: JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE, AND RINGO.
TODAY IN 1986, BON JOVI RELEASE THEIR BREAKTHROUGH THIRD STUDIO ALBUM, ‘SLIPPERY WHEN WET’ WHICH PEAKED AT NO.1 AND FEATURES THE HITS “LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER,” “YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME,” AND “WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE”.
AND IN 1997 THE FOO FIGHTERS RELEASE “EVERLONG” AS THE SECOND SINGLE FROM THEIR SECOND STUDIO ALBUM, ‘THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE’.
