1967, The Beatles finished recording “Blue Jay Way,” “Flying,” and “Magical Mystery Tour.” The Beatles have only six songs, not enough for an album so decided to issue a double-EP. Capitol Records didn’t think the double-EP format would be acceptable for the US market, so they decide to put out an album instead. The album contained the six Magical Mystery Tour songs. Five of the six songs from The Beatles’ 1967 singles appeared on side two.

1967, Pink Floyd mimed to “Apples And Oranges” for the music program American Bandstand, hosted by Dick Clark, in which the band were also  interviewed. It was broadcast on KABC and KEYT TV on December 16th

1968, At a Doors concert in Phoenix, Jim Morrison asks the audience to stand up. That’s enough for the local authorities to ban the group from the city. They suspected that Morrison was going to moon the audience as he had at a previous concert.

1968, Pink Floyd appeared at Porchester Hall in Queensway, London, along with Barclay James Harvest, and the Edgar Broughton Band. The Floyds also jammed with Alexis Korner and Arthur Brown after their set.

1979, The Allman Brothers opened for Procul Harum at The Warehouse in New Orleans, Louisiana. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts jammed with Peter Green after the headliners’ set.

1970, MCA drops 18 acts who purportedly “exploit and promote hard drugs through music” from its roster, according to label president Mike Curb. The unfortunate 18 include such incongruous hopheads as Connie Francis, and the Cowsills.
