On this day in 1970, the UK band Smile debuted their new singer: Freddie Mercury. The gig was booked before they decided to change their name to Queen.
On this day in 1989, the Who performed their rock opera, “Tommy” live at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. They hadn’t done the whole thing in concert for 19 years.
