MAY 1
TODAY IN 1975, THE ROLLING STONES PLAYED LIVE ON THE BACK OF A FLATBED TRUCK AS IT DROVE DOWN 5TH AVENUE IN NEW YORK CITY. IT WAS THEIR WAY OF ANNOUNCING THEIR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR. STONES DRUMMER CHARLIE WATTS CAME UP WITH THE IDEA, AFTER WATCHING NEW ORLEANS JAZZ MUSICIANS, WHO WOULD PLAY WALKING DOWN THE STREET.
ON THIS DAY IN 1966, THE BEATLES MADE THEIR FINAL LIVE, PAID APPEARANCE IN THE U.K. WHEN THEY PLAYED A 15 MINUTE SET AT THE NME POLL WINNERS CONCERT AT EMPIRE POOL, WEMBLEY.
IN 2007 RUSH RELEASE THEIR EIGHTEENTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘SNAKES & ARROWS’ FEATURING THE SINGLE “FAR CRY”.
