This Day in Rock History

Tomorrow, 7/25, marks the 40th anniversary of the release of AC/DC's Back in Black. The first I time I heard the album I was at an unusual location.

I was only a year old when Woodstock took place. I've always been fascinated by the event. Last year, we made the trip to the museum. See the photos here.

This is the 50th anniversary weekend of the original Woodstock. Police have issued a warning about traffic. And if you won tickets from us, you must read this.

A year ago this week, we learned of the mass shooting in Vegas that left 58 people dead and we lost a legend, Tom Petty. It was a rough week to say the least.

Is it time already to power up the Whale Time Machine and travel back to another time in the world of Rock-n-Roll?

Usually I make my pick of the week on Wednesday, but procrastination set in.

Are you ready to jump back in the Whale Time Machine? Let's go back a few years on this date, specifically to 1976. That was the time when Peter Gabriel said goodbye to Genesis, and Phil Collins added a lead singer microphone to his drum set...

Well, Happy Birthday Phil Lesh!

He would have been 69 years old today. But on March 25th, 1982 he died at age 33.

Ready to board the Whale Time Machine? OK, let's travel back to October 25th, 1986.
