On this evening in 1971, Procol Harum played with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in a concert which was recorded. The resulting album (released in April of 1972) breathed new life into several of the group’s songs, notably “Conquistador” “A Salty Dog” “All This and More” & “Grand Finale”

Best album of the 80’s Sorry, Michael Jackson fans. It’s science.

Neil Young #BOTD - "Powderfinger" www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdPs...

A poet & performance artist by night, an employee of a small bookstore by day, Patti Smith’s life changed on this date in 1975 when her debut album Horses was released on Arista. One of the most influential albums of the decade, “Redondo Beach” & “Birdland” are two of the many key tracks on Horses.

Most of Lou Reed’s (1942-2013) music had a New York City flavor, but it didn’t get much more Big Apple than his Transformer lp – released today in 1972. Produced by the stellar duo of David Bowie & Mick Ronson, the album (improbably) had a charting single – “Walk on the Wild Side” (#16 pop, U.S.).

Hearing even a *reference* to The Monster Mash ANY time of the year is infuriating. The song absolutely sucks and modern civilization shouldn’t even be aware of it. You should not and cannot and MUST NOT defend it. Let the worms of history finally have their feast.

John “Moon” Martin (born today in 1945) penned “Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)” in 1978 – made famous by Robert Palmer (1949-2003). Martin’s second studio lp – Escape from Domination – is a little-known gem, featuring his lone solo hit (“Rolene” – #30 pop, U.S.). Martin passed in 2020.

Wasn’t able to watch WS live but apparently the Jonas Bros did some of a song at some point? I cannot express this urgently enough: NO. Baseball is not meant to be associated with entertainment. The beauty of baseball is its uninterrupted agony. The outside world must be barred from the stadiums.

everyone is mad about the song in the middle of the game but the players are happy and enjoying their orange wedges

Here’s hoping.

Based on S.E. Hinton’s novel of the same name, Francis Ford Coppola’s unconventional film Rumble Fish premiered on this date in 1983. It stars Matt Dillon & Mickey Rourke. Hinton and Coppola collaborated on the screenplay – and percussionist Stewart Copeland crafted Rumble Fish’s unusual soundtrack.

Elton John’s seventh studio album (& quite possibly his finest), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, was released on this date in 1973. It spawned four great singles – & classic deep cuts abound, such as: “Grey Seal” “All the Young Girls Love Alice” “Jamaica Jerk-Off” “Roy Rogers” & the sublime “Harmony”

The Who by Numbers – the quartet’s 7th studio lp – was released on this date in 1975. Produced by Glyn Johns, the album peaked at #8 on the American lp chart. Highlights include “Dreaming from the Waist” “Squeeze Box” (#16 pop U.S.) & “Slip Kid” – featuring Nicky Hopkins (1944-1994) on piano.

Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd’s 9th studio lp – was released today in 1975. It’s likely the group’s most emotional album, with many of the songs articulating the sadness surrounding Syd Barrett’s mental downturn. The cover image & overall album design are tremendous – one of Hipgnosis’ finest.
