Due to overwhelming demand from the Redheads, Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer Sammy Hagar is bringing the party back to Vegas this summer and adding two additional shows to his sold-out residency. He’ll be joined by his classic band The Wabos.
In the History of Rock in 1964 – Jerry Lee Lewis plays The Star Club in Germany and records an record called “Live At The Star Club”, backed by The Nashville Teens (who were neither from Nashville nor in their teens). Rolling Stone magazine gave it a positive review, saying “Live At The Star Club, Hamburg is not an album, it’s a crime scene.”
In 1980 – R.E.M. played their first ever gig when they appeared at St Mary's Episcopal Church, Athens, Georgia. The show at this abandoned church was for a friend’s birthday party.
And in 2011 – A statue in tribute to Kurt Cobain was unveiled in his hometown of Aberdeen. The concrete guitar was eight-and-a-half-feet tall and contained the lyrics “One more special message to go and then I’m done and I can go home.”
