FEBRUARY 17
TODAY IN 1979, THE CLASH PLAYED A KEY EARLY SHOW ON THEIR FIRST U.S. TOUR AT NEW YORK CITY’S PALLADIUM, WITH “I’M SO BORED WITH THE USA” AMONG THEIR SETLIST OPENERS.
ON THIS DAY IN 1972 PINK FLOYD PERFORM “ECLIPSE” AT THE RAINBOW THEATRE IN LONDON. A YEAR LATER, THIS MUSIC BECOMES PART OF ‘THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON’ ALBUM.
AND BIRTHDAY GREETINGS GO OUT TO BILLY JOE ARMSTRONG, LEAD VOCALIST, GUITARIST AND CO-FOUNDER OF GREEN DAY.
