Today in Rock History

1969
Deep Purple performs Jon Jord's "Concerto for Group and Orchestra" with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at London's Royal Albert Hall.


1974
Stevie Wonder hits #1 with "You Haven't Done Nothin'"


1982
Queen performs at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California, in what turns out to be their last U.S. concert.
This is not the footage from that show, still amazing though


2004
Johnny Ramone passes away after a fight with prostate cancer. Nobody shredded like Johnny did. He set the bar for some many guitar players to follow. His style, his attitude, and his 3 chord anthems paved the way for what punk would be.
