JULY 12
IN 1969 BLIND FAITH, A SUPERGROUP WITH ERIC CLAPTON AND STEVE WINWOOD, BEGIN THEIR U.S. TOUR WITH A SHOW AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN NEW YORK CITY. THEIR ALBUM ISN’T RELEASED YET, BUT THE SHOW IS STILL A SELLOUT THANKS TO CLAPTON’S STAR POWER.
ON JULY 12, 1962, THE “ROLLIN’ STONES” MADE THEIR DEBUT AT THE MARQUEE JAZZ CLUB IN LONDON. MICK JAGGER, KEITH RICHARDS, AND BRIAN JONES WERE BACKED BY DICK TAYLOR ON BASS, AND FUTURE KINKS DRUMMER MICK AVORY.
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LATE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAMER CHRISTINE MCVIE OF FLEETWOOD MAC, BORN TODAY IN 1943.
