We don’t talk too much about rapper Post Malone. But two years after he put out a set of him covering Nirvana songs, he appeared on a radio show and played a cover of Pearl Jam’s ‘Better Man.’
In the History of Rock in 1962 – The Konrads, featuring a 15-year-old Dave Jay, made their live debut when they played at Bromley Technical School in Kent, England. Dave would have a reasonable amount of success when he left the band and changed his name to David Bowie.
In 1965 – Bob Dylan recorded ‘Like A Rolling Stone’ at Columbia Recording Studios in New York City, in the sessions for the forthcoming 'Highway 61 Revisited' album.
And in 1967 – The three-day Monterey Pop Festival in California began. All the proceeds went to charity when all the artists agreed to perform for free. The festival saw the first major US appearances by The Who, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Also on the bill: The Byrds, Grateful Dead, Otis Redding, Simon And Garfunkel, The Steve Miller Band, Canned Heat, The Mamas & the Papas, Jefferson Airplane, and Buffalo Springfield.
