At a Beatles command performance (present: Queen Elizabeth; the Queen Mother; Princess Margaret), John Lennon utters the remark: "Will the people in the cheaper seats clap their hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry."

Ah, truly a great day in music history. I've always wondered if the rumors were true that the fab four took a few tokes up on the rooftop before the concert. I believe they have always denied it but it shows up in quite a few biographies of the band.

Nov 30 1985

Frankenchrist released by the Dead Kennedys. More controversial than the album itself was the packaging: The Shriners filed suit regarding the cover (pictured were some of the ridiculous little cars they drive); and a poster by H.R. Giger included in the album sparked an obscenity trial in Los Angeles.

Heh -oh yeah, I forgot about that poster - I bet mine's still in the album jacket

3 Dec 1979

At Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, eleven concertgoers variously aged 15 to 27 years are trampled and suffocated trying to get in to see The Who. Insufficient exits were available, and a request by police to open more was ignored.
