I don’t think Rock gigs much more Rock than playing inside a volcano. Stone Temple Pilots and Bush have been booked to play a show inside a Portuguese volcano. The inaugural Atlantis Concert for Earth, a two-day event taking place inside the Sete Cidades Massif volcano in The Azores. The volcano last erupted in 1880.
In the History of Rock in 1964 – Eleven young boys were suspended from a school in Coventry, England for having Mick Jagger style haircuts.
In 1994 – The Eagles reunite at a Burbank, California concert, ending a fourteen-year break-up. The two-and-a-half-hour show ended with two encores capped by “Desperado”.
And in 2008 – Sir Paul McCartney was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Yale University. Yale’s president, Richard Levin, said; The former Beatle had ‘awakened a generation, giving a fresh sound to rock and roll and to rhythm and blues’. A band played ‘Hey Jude’ as Sir Paul, 65, walked on stage to accept his degree.
