Today in Classic Rock History

1964 - The Who began their legendary Tuesday night residency at London’s Marquee Club. The band was paid just £50 for each of the 22 consecutive gigs, a run that would cement their reputation as one of the most explosive live acts in rock history.

1967 - The Jimi Hendrix Experience released their second studio album, Axis: Bold as Love, in the UK. The album showcased Hendrix’s expanding musical palette, featuring classics like "Little Wing," "Spanish Castle Magic," and "Castles Made of Sand."

1968 - Janis Joplin performed her final concert with Big Brother and the Holding Company in San Francisco before embarking on her solo career.

1971 - John Lennon and Yoko Ono released "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" in the United States. Backed by the Harlem Community Choir, the protest anthem became an instant holiday standard, pairing a message of peace with Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound production.

1973 - Black Sabbath released their fifth studio album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Written during a period of intense writer's block for Tony Iommi, the title track saved the band and the album expanded their heavy sound with synthesizers and strings.

1975 - Eric Carmen released his power ballad "All By Myself," which would go on to become a massive solo hit after his time with The Raspberries. The song famously borrowed its melody from Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2.

1988 - U2 released "Angel of Harlem," the second single from Rattle and Hum. The soulful tribute to Billie Holiday was recorded at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

Born on this Day:

John Densmore (1944): Drummer for The Doors.
