This Day in Music History: Wednesday, January 30th 

By Mike Lapitino

This Day in Music History...

1968: On tour together in Wellington, New Zealand, The Who and The Small Faces celebrate Small Faces singer Steve Marriott's birthday with a drunken party that causes the destruction of hotel windows and at least one stereo system. Soldiers are called to restore order.

1969: The Beatles give their last concert, atop the Apple building in London. The 42-minute lunchtime performance includes "Dig a Pony," "Don't Let Me Down," "Get Back," "I've Got a Feeling" and "One After 909." As shoppers and workers gather in the street below, the show is filmed for the movie Let It Be. When police end it, John Lennon quips, "I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group, and I hope we passed the audition."

1973: KISS play their first public show, at the Coventry Club in Queens, New York.

2006: The members of Pink Floyd issue yet another statement saying they have no plans to reunite, this one after rumors spread that a run at London's Royal Albert Hall is in the works.

2007: The Police announce that they will reunite to open up the Grammys.
