On Valentines’ Day in 1970, The Who played Leeds University in England, a show they recorded and released as “Live at Leeds” three months later. Even with only six songs, the original LP has been hailed as one of the greatest live albums ever.  

In 1973 during David Bowie’s Valentine’s Day show in New York City, he made a spectacular entrance in a domed glass space capsule. His exit was equally spectacular —he was carried off stage after an enthusiastic fan knocked the wind out of him.  

And Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Bon Jovi were #1 on the charts today in 1987, with “Livin‘ On A Prayer.”
