SEPTEMBER 16
“ARE YOU EXPERIENCED”, THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, ENTERED THE CHARTS TODAY IN 1967. IT SPENT 106 WEEKS THERE, AND CHANGED THE SOUND OF ROCK GUITAR IN THE PROCESS.
THE GRATEFUL DEAD SCORED A COUP IN 1978 WHEN THEY BECAME THE FIRST AMERICAN ROCK BAND EVER TO HEADLINE A CONCERT IN CAIRO, EGYPT. THE LEGENDARY SHOW, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GREAT PYRAMIDS, WAS RELEASED IN 2008.
AND IN 1970 BRITISH ROCK JOURNAL “MELODY MAKER” REPORTED THAT LED ZEPPELIN HAD REPLACED THE BEATLES AS GREAT BRITAIN’S MOST POPULAR GROUP, ENDING AN 8 YEAR RUN FOR THE FAB FOUR.
