5. Saddest day in rock n roll history in my opinion.

Last live performance of the Beatles. The day the music died.

6. The day John Lennon died, from NYT archives:

"John Lennon of Beatles Is Killed; Suspect Held in Shooting at Dakota; Wife Reported Unhurt John Lennon Shot to Death; Suspect Is Seized at Dakota Obtained Autograph Earlier 'Crouching in Archway' Continued to Write Songs Emblem of the 60's

7. Okay okay

Point taken.

8. Get buzzed and watch "TOMMY" by The Who:

[George II]

12. A very sad day in music history and American history. At the time I was living on CPW....

....just 10 blocks north of the Dakota.

I remember that night and the week vividly - was watching Monday Night Football when Howard Cosell broke the news. The rest of the week traffic was unbelievable with all the street shutdowns and the people driving into the area to visit the "site".

On Saturday or Sunday (forget which) there was a memorial vigil at the band shell in Central Park near the Dakota. Thousands showed up. There was only a chair set up on the band shell with a portrait of John Lennon and a boom box looping "Imagine" over and over again. Other than that all we heard was a dog or two barking and helicopters overhead. It was eerie. To this day "Imagine" rings in my ears.

18. There's only one rock stars death that will ever compare to that outpouring of emotion ...

And that was when we lost Jerry.

Those were the two losses that hit the rock and roll world the hardest I think, and I'm not sure there's anyone else's passing that will compare, because there just aren't the universally admired icons left anymore ... not that could still be lost in their prime like John was. And Jerry just meant SO MUCH ... to so many people ...

I mean, that's assuming Paul dies of natural causes, long in the future ... THAT will indeed prompt a huge outpouring, but I don't think it'll quite match Lennon's, just because of the tragedy involved. Elton's passing will also be huge, as will Mick's. Clapton's, too. Page & Plant will be gut-wrenching for sure, as will Roger & Pete.

Notice I leave out Keef.

9. Eternally book marked in my blood stream.

10. Those were good times! I miss the music and groups! I thought it would go on forever. n/t

[Jeffersons Ghost]

11. This was a "Bad Sceen" by the Rolling Stones at Altimont; but a killer song:

[RKP5637]

14. Great song! Bizarre crowd! n/t

[mr_lebowski]

20. The true end of the 60's ... right down the road from where I grew up ...

Hiring the Hell's Angels to do security was a bad, bad idea.

And when I look at that whole scene ... the crowd, and sadly even Mick ... it just has freaking speed (and maybe some crappy acid) ... written all over it.

[RKP5637]

30. Yep, it was a bad scene all the way around. There was such animosity in that crowd. n/t

[workinclasszero]

13. The Beatles - Revolution

[mr_lebowski]

19. Man, I freaking LOVE LOVE LOVE that video ... not quite as much as the Rooftop ...

But it's WAY up there in my fave Beatles vids ... good call!!!

[workinclasszero]

22. I love this one too, thanks

That's some hard rock & roll right there!

[mr_lebowski]

24. John wasn't into no sissy pre-amp distortion, neither ...

That's straight up nasty power-amp distortion right there, pushing the volume til the speaker surround is about to rip asunder from it's metal frame ...

John is rocking it LIKE A BOSS.

[workinclasszero]

25. Yes indeed!

[workinclasszero]

15. The Beatles - Hey Bulldog

[workinclasszero]

16. THE WHO Eminence Front (Toronto 17th dec 1982)

21. That one's so freaking good ... I've shared it before here ... AMAZING song and performance (nt)

[workinclasszero]

23. I agree! This was in 82 and they started in the early 60's I guess

The Who were epic from start to finish!

[littlemissmartypants]

31. Great thread for a Sunday morn!

Brought tears to my eyes.

[PatSeg]

32. All these videos are great

Especially "Don't Let Me Down" on the rooftop.

More recently, if any of you haven't seen Paul McCartney carpooling with James Corden, this is really a treat to watch.
