I'd like to excuse myself for the lack of this article. I've been extremely busy and didn't have time to write all this. Well, here's what happen on my birthday several years ago in the world of music!
September 4th:
1996, Oasis created outrage at the MTV awards held at New York's Radio City Hall. During the bands performance of 'Champagne Supernova' singer Liam spat on stage and threw a beer into the crowd.
1984, U2 played the first of five nights at Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia during their Unforgettable Fire World tour.
1982, The Steve Miller Band started a two week run at No.2 on the US singles chart with 'Abracadabra' the groups third US No.1, a No.2 hit in the UK.
1976, The Sex Pistols made their television debut when they appeared on the Manchester based Granada TV program 'So It Goes'.
1971, during a North American tour Led Zeppelin appeared at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada.
1968, The Beatles recorded promotional videos for ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘Revolution’ at Twickenham Film Studios. The vocals are recorded live over the pre-recorded instrumental tracks to get round the current British Musicians Union ban on lip-sync performances. For ‘Hey Jude’, The Beatles were accompanied by a 36-piece orchestra and 300 fans and other assorted extras who join in singing the long refrain.
1965, The Who had their van stolen containing over £5000 worth of equipment outside the Battersea Dogs Home. The band were inside the home at the time buying a guard dog. The van was later recovered.
1954, to coincide with the release of his second Sun single, ‘Good Rockin' Tonight’, Elvis Presley, along with Bill Black and Scotty Moore made their first appearance at The Grand Old Opry. The audience reaction was so poor, the Opry's manager, Jim Denny told Elvis that he should go back to driving a truck.
