SEPTEMBER 16
TODAY IN 1970 JIMI HENDRIX JOINS ERIC BURDON AND HIS NEW BAND WAR ON STAGE AT RONNIE SCOTTS IN LONDON FOR WHAT WOULD BECOME THE GUITARIST’S LAST EVER PUBLIC APPEARANCE. HE WOULD DIE TWO DAYS LATER.
IN 1996, PEARL JAM PLAY THE FIRST NIGHT ON THEIR ‘NO CODE’ TOUR AT THE KEY ARENA IN SEATTLE. BECAUSE OF THE BAND’S REFUSAL TO PLAY IN TICKETMASTER’S VENUES, THEY ARE FORCED TO USE ALTERNATE TICKETING COMPANIES FOR THE SHOWS.
AND FINALLY, HAPPY 76TH BIRTHDAY TO DRUMMER KENNEY JONES, BEST KNOWN FOR HIS WORK WITH SMALL FACES / FACES AND THE WHO.
