SEPTEMBER 1
THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME OPENED TODAY IN 1995, NINE YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INDUCTION CEREMONY. THE RIBBON-CUTTING KICKED O A WEEKEND OF CONCERTS BY CHUCK BERRY, ARETHA FRANKLIN, BOB DYLAN, AND BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.
IN 1979, U2 PUT OUT THEIR FIRST RECORD EVER: AN EP ENTITLED, “U2 THREE.” ONLY A THOUSAND COPIES WERE MADE IN THE ORIGINAL PRESSING.
AND IN 1980, FLEETWOOD MAC WRAPPED UP THEIR NINE-MONTH LONG TUSK TOUR AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. THEY’D START THEIR NEXT TOUR, FOR THE MIRAGE ALBUM, THE SAME DAY IN 1982.
