TODAY IN 1969 THE WHO AND LED ZEPPELIN APPEAR AT THE MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION IN MARYLAND. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THE TWO GROUPS EVER APPEARED TOGETHER, WITH ZEPPELIN OPENING THE SHOW. ON THE TICKETS LED ZEPPELIN WAS MISSPELLED AS “L-E-A-D” ZEPPELIN.
AC/DC RELEASE THEIR FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘POWERAGE’ IN 1978. THIS WAS THE BAND’S FIRST ALBUM TO FEATURE CLIFF WILLIAMS ON BASS GUITAR, AND WAS ALSO THE FIRST AC/DC ALBUM NOT TO HAVE A TITLE TRACK.
AND FINALLY, IN 1985 DIRE STRAITS HAD THEIR SECOND #1 ALBUM IN THE UK WITH ‘BROTHERS IN ARMS’. LED BY THE SINGLE AND VIDEO FOR “MONEY FOR NOTHING”, IT WOULD GO ON TO HIT #1 IN AMERICA AND 24 OTHER COUNTRIES.
