a day like today ... September 30th

September 30th

... 1947, Marc Bolan, the mastermind behind glam-rockers T. Rex, was born on this date, which much later saw a fight breakout among crew members during a concert featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blue Oyster Cult. A pair of important projects arrived in 1985 from Tom Waits and Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well.

... 1965, The Rolling Stones performed at the Gaumont Theatre in Hanley, Staffordshire, UK. Also on the bill were The Moody Blues, The Spencer Davis Group, The End and The Habits. Bill Wyman produced singles and the debut album of The End, for Decca Records
... 1967, Pink Floyd appeared at The Imperial Ballroom, Nelson, England.
... 1982, Bruce Springsteen released an album that was never supposed to see the light of day. At least, not in its stripped-down configuration. Instead, the songs that comprised Nebraska were originally meant to work as guides for the expected full-bore rock assault to come by the E Street Band. But Springsteen grew to appreciate these stark tales in their equally stark original setting, and one of his most direct artistic statements was eventually issued unchanged.
... 1997 , after a period of retrenchment that found Bob Dylan issuing not one but two albums of age-old cover tunes, he roared back to creative life with Time Out of Mind. The project marked a return to collaborating with producer Daniel Lanois, who had overseen Dylan’s most complete album of the ’80s, Oh Mercy.
...2003 , English songbird Dido releases Life for Rent, the follow-up to her multi-million-selling debut No Angel. Sting releases his seventh solo album Sacred Love. Dominated by spiritual and political concerns, the album peaks at No. 3 on the Billboard .
... 2007, Foo Fighters went to No.1 on the UK album chart with 'Echoes Silence Patience & Grace' the bands sixth studio album and second UK No.1. Reba McEntire was at No.1 on the US album chart with Reba: Duets.
