Paul McCartney is at #1 on the UK singles chart with “Pipes of Peace” (1984).

Paul McCartney releases his Back In The U.S.S.R. album exclusively in Russia (1989).

David Jones changes his last name to Bowie so there would be no confusion with Davy Jones from the Monkees (1966).

Charlie Watts makes his live debut with The Rolling Stones at The Flamingo Jazz Club in London (1963).

25,000+ fans attend The Human Be-In-A Gathering Of The Tribes at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. This event is a forerunner of major outdoor rock concerts. The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane are just two of the many groups that perform (1967).

Elvis Presley’s “Aloha From Hawaii” concert is broadcast live around the world (1973).
