This Day in Music History...

1958: Guitarist George Harrison join John Lennon and Paul McCartney in The Quarry Men.

1966: The Beatles perform their last official concert in from of 25,000 (15,000 shy of a sell-out) at San Francisco's Candlestick Park.  They perform 11 songs in 33 minutes, opening with "Rock and Roll Music" and closing with "Long Tall Sally." The Ronettes (without Ronnie Spector), The Remains, The Cyrkle and Bobby Hebb, who adds "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" to his set, open.

1970: The fourth of the five day Isle of Wight Festival features The Who, The Doors, Miles Davis, Ten Years After, Joni Mitchell, John Sebastian, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, in their first official gig, and others. The festival is recorded and filmed and most of these performances will eventually be released on CD, DVD or both.

1970: The Kinks' "Lola" single goes to number 2 in the U.K., where its lyrics have been altered ("cherry cola" in place of "Coca Cola") to satisfy the commercial-free BBC's regulations again citing brand names.

1976: At a reunion of the original Spirit in Santa Monica, California, Neil Young joins in on an encore of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone." Bass player Mark Andes invited Young onstage, but guitarist Randy California objects to his presence and pushes him away.
