In 1976, The Who’s drummer Keith Moon paid nine cab drivers to block-off both ends of a New York street so he could “safely” throw the contents of his hotel room out the window.
In 1977, Led Zeppelin broke the single-act attendance record for a concert when 76,229 fans paid to see them at the Silverdome in Pontiac, MI.
And today in 1983, Blues legend Muddy Waters, born McKinley Morganfield, died in his sleep at age 68. He was a major influence on Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, and many more.
