Tommy’s Coffee Break Calendar for June 7th

The Stones didn't exactly win 'em over tonight... -- Hey, this actually happened on TV! -- Zep tickets price today? Who friggin' knows...

6/7/1964 (54 years ago today) - San Antonio, Texas is the setting and tonight, during The Rolling Stones first tour of the U.S., the band is booed off stage as the audience has no tolerance whatsoever for the way the group looks and sounds -- So what happens? A troupe of dancing, juggling monkeys, who had been on before The Stones, were brought back out for another performance! True story...

6/7/1969 (49 years ago today) - The show was advertised as "a lively new way to enjoy summer!": Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell are guests on the debut episode of ABC-TV's "The Johnny Cash Show" -- Broadcast live from Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium, Bob plays "I Threw It All Away" {fantastic, by the by}, duets with Johnny on "Girl From The North Country", Joni does "Both Sides Now" {that's right, it was a killer tune once upon a time!}, and Johnny and June Carter Cash sing Bob's "It Ain't Me, Babe" -- A truly historic television timepiece...

6/7/1977 (41 years ago today) - It was unprecedented at the time, really...: Their 11th North American Tour would turn out to be the last one for Led Zeppelin, though they obviously didn't know it or plan it -- Tonight the band play the first of six consecutive sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden -- Tickets cost $8.50 and $10.50!!! Gaaakkk!!!
