🎼27 March 1987. U2 play a rooftop concert in downtown Los Angeles, taking the idea from what The #Beatles did in their famous rooftop concert in London some decades before. 🤟🎸
They were intended to film their video for "Where The Streets Have No Name", one of my absolute favorite songs from my absolute favorite #U2 album, The Joshua Tree.
How the story went on... it's here in the official video 👇 they somehow made history with that too! 😉

🎼22 April 1966. 55 years ago 😳 The Beatles record a song that seems to come from another planet 🌗
Something never heard before, if you consider the year (1966!) and the album in which it's included, Revolver, that contains typical #Beatles songs of the period like Eleanor Rigby or Yellow Submarine.
The track is Tomorrow Never Knows and some say it's the first attempt of Progressive Rock. It contains elements of psychedelia, musique concrète, avant-garde, oriental music and the recording technique was never used before.
#JohnLennon experience with LSD seems to have done the rest 😱😉
I like this song anyway 👍, good for the evening... do you like it?

🎼27 November 1970. George Harrison releases his masterpiece, his third studio album (the first after the #Beatles break-up) entitled All Things Must Pass: it's a huge work (a triple album in fact) where #GeorgeHarrison releases all his spirituality, his tremendous songwriting and his trademark slide guitar sound 🎸
Major artists appear as musicians and/or co-writers in All Things Must Pass, to name a few: #BobDylan, #BillyPreston, #GaryWright, #RingoStarr, #DaveMason, #PeterFrampton, the entire band of #Badfinger and Harrison's longtime friend #EricClapton 🤟
Here's the most famous and best selling song from the album, I'm sure everyone heard it at some point: "My Sweet Lord". It's also the most controversial song for 2 reasons:
1- Harrison was engaged in an endless lawsuit for copyright infringement by American songwriter Ronnie Mack who in 1963 had a n.1 hit called "He's So Fine". Harrison always claimed he never realized that and even offered huge compensation on "My Sweet Lord" sales.
2- Most people think the song is a prayer to God, it is a sarcastic invitation to abandon religious sectarianism instead! Harrison had embraced Hindu belief years earlier when tavelling to India, and in the song we can hear the typical "Hare Krishna" chant.

George Harrison - My Sweet Lord (2021 Remaster)
Updated stereo remaster of "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison.
🎼55 years ago, 1966 (!!!) #FrankZappa released his first studio album, Freak Out, along with his band The Mothers Of Invention.
Rock'n'Roll music was born only few years earlier and was still evolving, pioneers like #ElvisPresley, #LittleRichard, #ChuckBerry were still hitting the charts, #Beatles and #RollingStones were at the peak of their popularity, #JimiHendrix was non yet around, Prog Rock was far from coming... how could the world be ready in 1966 for such an innovative, uncompromising music composition and approach, harsh lyrics and virulent satire!?! 😳
Freak Out, like all Zappa's works which followed, was simply out of time and would probably be far ahead even today!

🎼🌷17 March 1944. Happy Birthday to Pattie Boyd from Taunton, England.
Sometimes you don't have to be a musician to have a space in Rock #MusicHistory!
If it wasn't for her George Harrison wouldn't write "Something" and "I Need You" (#Beatles), "I Live for You": if it was't for her Eric Clapton wouldn't write "Layla", "Bell Bottom Blues", "Wonderful Tonight"...
#PattieBoyd was married to #GeorgeHarrison from 1966 to 1977 and to #EricClapton from 1979 to 1989.
Clapton and Harrison were big friends... Clapton falled in love with Pattie and wrote songs for her when she was married to Harrison... and both knew it!

This also proved to be the band's most successful single in 1984!
