ON THIS DAY IN 1966, THE BEATLES MADE THEIR FINAL LIVE, PAID APPEARANCE IN THE U.K. WHEN THEY PLAYED A 15 MINUTE SET AT THE NME POLL WINNERS CONCERT AT EMPIRE POOL, WEMBLEY.
TODAY IN 1975, THE ROLLING STONES ANNOUNCE THEIR TOUR OF THE AMERICAS BY ROLLING DOWN NEW YORK CITY’S 5TH AVENUE PLAYING LIVE FROM THE BACK OF A FLAT-BED TRUCK. STONES DRUMMER CHARLIE WATTS CAME UP WITH THE IDEA AFTER WATCHING NEW ORLEANS JAZZ MUSICIANS, WHO WOULD PLAY WALKING DOWN THE STREET.
AND IN 1976 LED ZEPPELIN’S ‘PRESENCE’ ALBUM, WITH THE ROCKERS “ACHILLES LAST STAND” AND “NOBODY’S FAULT BUT MINE,” HITS #1 IN AMERICA.
