This Day in Classic Rock

It was on this day in1962, The Beatles did a show at Aintree Institute in Aintree, Liverpool. The group had played there many times before, but this time their new manager Brian Epstein got hugely pissed when the promoter paid The Beatles’ fee (£15 pounds) with handfuls of loose change. The Beatles never played for that promoter again….Brian Kelly, in case you were wondering.

It was on this day in 1971, David Bowie arrived in the United States for the first time…but he wasn’t allowed to perform because he didn’t have a work permit with his Visa….but he did manage to attract a fair amount of attention, because he headed straight for the Bible belt…Oklahoma, Texas….and naturally, being David Bowie and all, he was wearing a sparkly gold  dress.Oh Yes…There’s more!

Awesome Smile

We had fun…

And you will too!

It was tonight in1968 that Pink Floyd played their first gig without Syd Barrett at Southampton University. Opening that show was a new band that would become one of England’s favourites…. Tyrannosaurus Rex, fronted by Marc Bolan, later to be renamed T Rex.Dude! There’s more!
