A look back at the past two weeks in Rock History

by Team HC

October 25th - 30th

This week we celebrate the seventieth birthday of one of the most influential rock and blues guitarists in rock history - the great Peter Green. Sadly, this was also the week when Duane Allman passed away, just shy of his twenty-fifth birthday. Record releases from the last week of October include debuts by Ten Years After, Jethro Tull and the Sex Pistols. Read on for more!

Events

1962 - An early version of the Rolling Stones recorded their first demo, comprised of three covers by Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Reed.

1963 - The Beatles visited Sweden on their first foreign tour. The Fab Four recorded a radio show, did a few live concerts, and appeared on Swedish television.
