1966, The Who play the Kongresshalle in Cologne, Germany.

1967, The Beatles mixed four songs at Abbey Road studio in London, “Hello Goodbye,” “Your Mother Should Know,” “Magical Mystery Tour,” and “I Am the Walrus.” Due to the radio feed used in “I Am the Walrus” being recorded in mono, the song changes from stereo to mono at the line “Sitting in an English garden.”

1968, The Monkees’ $750,000 feature film, Head opened in New York City. Instead of being aimed at their target audience of teeny boppers, the film contained a dark theme about the manipulation of the group with walk-on appearances by inappropriate guests and scenes of Vietnam War atrocities. Reviews were harsh and the picture was a box office disaster.

1971, The soundtrack to “Shaft” by Isaac Hayes went to number one on the album chart.

1971, In Melody Maker, Pete Townshend writes another defense of The Who’s higher ticket prices but apparently runs out of patience and says sarcastically that he only pretends to believe in what he says and is only doing it for the money. The Who play the Rainbow Theatre in London.

1972, Rolling Stone Bill Wyman lost his driving license and was fined £20 ($32) by Chelmsford Magistrates court after being caught speeding in his Mercedes on the A12.

1972, Queen played at the Pheasantry Club, London.

1973, Roxy Music performed at Winter Gardens, Bournemouth, England.

1973, Michael Martin and Phil Kaufman were charged and fined $300 each for the theft of a coffin containing Gram Parsons body. The court heard that the two men were merely carrying out Parsons’ wishes to be cremated in the desert.

1973, Grand Funk Railroad performed at The Spectrum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

1974, David Bowie appeared at the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio during the Philly Dogs tour. After the show, Bowie stayed up all night in the hotel bar dancing and miming.

1975, The Sex Pistols made their live debut at St Martin’s School Of Art in central London, supporting a band called Bazooka Joe, which included Stuart Goddard (the future Adam Ant). The Pistols’ performance lasts ten minutes.

1976, The Steve Miller Band went to number one on the singles chart with “Rock ‘n’ Me,” the group’s second number one.
