Rock & Roll History: October 27
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
A few Rock & Roll History items of note for October 27th.
1949: Gary Tallent, the bass player for Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, was born. We’re looking forward to seeing Gary and The Boss perform Born to Run live next month.
1962: The Rolling Stones made their first recordings in London, covering American blues songs from Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley. Unfortunately, these initial recordings didn’t yield a record deal.
1969: The Beatles’ Abbey Road album was certified gold. This is another of my Desert Island Discs.
1975: Bruce Springsteen was featured on the covers of both Time and Newsweek. Ironically, this was before The Boss even had a hit song or album. Could that really have been 34 years ago?!?!?
Led Zep, the Stones and The Who are just some of our favorites. Any modern bands come to mind? What are your thoughts? Register on Rock and Roll Blog now and get published within minutes. Before posting, it is recommended that you review our posting guidelines.
