NOVEMBER 3
BACK IN 1991, A MASSIVE FREE MEMORIAL CONCERT CALLED “LAUGHTER, LOVE AND MUSIC” TOOK OVER THE POLO FIELDS IN GOLDEN GATE PARK, SAN FRANCISCO. THE EVENT PAID TRIBUTE TO LEGENDARY PROMOTER BILL GRAHAM AND FEATURED PERFORMANCES BY THE GRATEFUL DEAD, SANTANA, AND MANY MORE — DRAWING A CROWD OF OVER 300,000 FANS.
ON THIS DAY IN 1977, ELTON JOHN TOOK THE STAGE AT WEMBLEY EMPIRE POOL IN LONDON AND ANNOUNCED WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIS RETIREMENT FROM TOURING. IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL NIGHT — BUT AS WE KNOW, THE ROCKET MAN WOULD SOAR AGAIN.
AND A QUICK BIRTHDAY SHOUTOUT TO MICK THOMSON, GUITARIST FOR SLIPKNOT, WHO WAS BORN NOVEMBER 3, 1973
