Metallica has set next Friday as the release date for single-day tickets for their "M72 World Tour". Of course, single-day attendees will miss out on an entirely different set list and one set of opening acts since neither will repeat.
In the History of Rock in 1968 – Against the advice of Columbia Records executives, Johnny Cash visits Folsom State Prison in California to record a live album. The resulting LP, “Live At Folsom Prison” would become one of Johnny’s biggest selling records.
In 1973 – Eric Clapton made his stage comeback at the Rainbow Theatre with Pete Townsend, Ronnie Wood, Stevie Winwood and more. The show was recorded for the ‘Rainbow Concert’ album. Pete Townshend from The Who had organized the concert to help Clapton kick his heroin addiction.
And in 2011 – Just two months after The Beatles back catalogue became available on iTunes, their sales figures topped 5 million songs according to Hudson Square Research. During that period, the legendary group also moved more than a million full-length albums.
