Time Machine Tuesday - 1966
August 14, 2012
This time it 1966 on the Time Machine. Lots was going on in Rock!
Here are a few highlights:
Rock group Buffalo Springfield formed with Steven Stills, Neil Young, et al.
Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass set a world record by placing five albums simultaneously on Billboard's Pop Album Chart, with four of them the Top 10. Their music outsells The Beatles by a margin of two-to-one... over 13 million recordings. They win 4 Grammys this year.
Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence" reached #1.
Young singer David Jones changes his last name to Bowie to avoid being confused with Davey Jones of the Monkees
The Rolling Stones release "Paint It, Black, which becomes the first number one hit single in the US and UK to feature a sitar (in this case played by Brian Jones).
Bob Dylan and the Hawks (later The Band) perform at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, England. Dylan is booed by the audience because of his decision to tour with an electric band, the boos culminating in the famous "Judas" shout.
The Beatles perform their last official concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California.
I think we'll hear a little garage rock, Dylan, Beatles, Stones, some Motown and some Stax too!
