In 1992, the surviving members of Queen were joined by an all-star lineup, including Roger Daltrey, David Bowie, Robert Plant, and many others, to honor Freddie Mercury at Wembley Stadium. 72,000 tickets for the event sold out in under 3 hours.
Deep Purple played their first live concert on this day in 1968 in Taastrup, Denmark. They would record their first single, “Hush” soon after.
