Today in Rock History

1970
Hendrix performs in the early hours at the Isle of Wight Festival in England with Mitch Mitcell on drums and Billy Cox on bass.


1971
Lemmy joins the band Hawkwind. Hawkwind can be best described as space rock or psychadelic metal. Hawkwind are said to have been a pre-cursor to the punk movement and the early sounds of what would become known as heavy metal. YouTube killed the embedding code so just click here.

1972
John Lennon performs at Madison Square Garden. It will be his last concert as a headliner. The show will posthumously be released in 1986 as Live in New York City.
