Speaker 1 (00:04):
I'm Buzz's Night, the host of the Taking a Walk podcast,
and welcome to another episode of This Week in Music
History for the week of August eleventh through the seventeenth,
and we go right over to the music history desk
to the man Harry Jacobs.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Hello, Harry Buzz.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Pleasure to be here again, Pleasure to be your researcher,
to be amused, to be whatever you want to call music, maybn,
whatever it is music.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Glad you're here, all right?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
August eleventh, nineteen sixty four. Of course, we can't have
one of these without, ever without some Beatles story, some
Beatles information. Beatles released Hard Day's Night the movie in
the US in sixty four. Did you see this in
the theater?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I must have. I must have.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I've seen it so many times, but I must have
first seen it in the theaters.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, this is back when you were going to the movies,
because now you refuse to go to the theater.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Although with spinal Tap in the Fall making its debut
in the theaters in imax, I might have to break that
rhythm of mine.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
How fun does that look?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Looks great?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, And by the way, Paul McCartney cameo in there.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, there's a couple of cameos in there, but that's yep,
that'll be a good one McCartney for sure. Nineteen eighty four,
Ray Parker Junior hit the number one spot with Ghostbusters.
Who are you Gonna Call? Bus?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Ghostbusters? What a movie? And look a song.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I don't know, maybe not my favorite song of all time,
but in that movie, in the context of that movie,
in that amazing movie, outstanding.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I can't hear it without tapping my fingers or tapping
my feet. Just a great It's just a great tune.
I know it is. August twelfth, nineteen sixty, the band
that would end up becoming the Beatles played their final
show at the Cavern as the Quarrymen. Their last shows
the Quarryman. They became the Beatles right after that. I
(02:18):
got to hit the Liverpool sometime. Yeah, I think that
would be a great trip. There's a lot of history
to be had there.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Nineteen seventy two, Alice Cooper hit number one in the
UK with Schools Out. This is you know, I remember
when I was a kid. I remember, you know, listening
to the top forty year rock radio when I was you know, nine,
ten years old or whatever and seeing Alice Cooper, you know,
seeing pictures of him whatever, thinking, man, that's a scary dude,
(02:49):
Like what is that all about? The I make up
in the Devil, the you know, frightening and little did
you know.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
He's one of the nicest, sweetest guys. And this fall
will be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Oh for his radio show.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Isn't that something?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Wow, that's a big deal for Alice Cooper. Ye smart,
articulate golf nut.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh yeah, golf Nut.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
In nineteen ninety four, on August twelfth, Woodstock ninety four
kicked off in Socrates with nine inch nails, Green Day
and others. I didn't get to that one. I was
at the one in ninety nine. Did you go in
ninety four to socer t I did. I didn't go
to either. Ninety nine was a mess that I left.
I left before the fires, but they they burnt that down.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I was lucky you got out.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, I'm really I remember waking up the next day
in New Jersey because I was going down to see
Bruce and at the start of that tour, and I
remember putting the TV on, thinking, oh my god, what
Stock's on fire? It was all over the news. It
was crazy. August thirteenth, nineteen sixty five, Jefferson Airplane made
their live debut at a club called the Matrix Club
(04:09):
in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It must have been a scene, I gotta say.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
The hippies were in full force.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
They were. Is there another band that you can think
of that went through three different name changes and kept
part of their name? Right? We got the Jefferson Airplane,
Jefferson Starship, and then just the Starship.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah. I can't think of one.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, unique unless Pablo Cruz went through something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
What you're going to do when she says goodbye, buzz right?
What you going to do?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
How about that? For unaided recall?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Why am I singling out for Pablo Cruz here? That's unfair.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I don't know. They had a couple of good tunes.
By the way, I'm waiting for them to come up
on this today.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
And we'll give them their due.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Nineteen ninety, Curtis Mayfield was paralyzed after a stage lighting
equipment a piece of rigging fell on him during the performance.
This was an awful situation, poor guy. August fourteenth, nineteen
eighty five, Michael Jackson ended up taking control four days later.
Last week we talked about him buying the rights for
(05:19):
the you know in the mid forties, forty seven million
bucks whatever it was. It took him four days and
then he took charge of that catalog.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Moving quick, Michael.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Can you imagine that though the you know, making the
purchase and then waking up on that day, gone, we signed,
We're clothes. I own everything, I own.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
It all, Harry, that's an example of why you have people.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Where you have people, right, yeah, I think that's a
pretty good illustration why you have people. In nineteen ninety five,
the Foo Fighters made their debut in the United Kingdom.
Great band.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh yeah, I'm fascinated when you'd see so many instances
back in history and more recently in music history of
UK breakouts that occur. You know, they are major things
that happened first and in the UK. It's an interesting
and considering the fact that the radio landscape in the
(06:22):
UK is certainly way different than it was and is
in the United States, but always ahead of the curve
on musical independence in the UK for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Nineteen seventy Stephen Stills was arrested for possession of cocaine
and a hotel in San Diego. You know, another one
with a history. Oh yeah, without questions. But he he's
one of those guys that when you talk to guitar players,
he's one of those guys that his name always comes up.
(06:57):
Is really kind of underrated in terms of his skill set,
but I've always admired him as a player and a singer.
And you know, love the one You're with is. You know,
it's one of my favorite songs of all time for sure.
August fifteenth, nineteen sixty nine, Day one of the Woodstock Festival,
the original Woodstock with Richie Havens and Joan Baez and
(07:19):
Sweetwater as well. At that you were probably too young
for that one.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Too young.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I remember it being advertised that it was going to
be happening reading the Village Voice, and you know, the
thought crossed my mind, would I once again benefit from
being a younger brother of older brothers and maybe tag along.
I'm kind of glad it didn't happen in a way.
I don't know if he would have made it out.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It probably would have been a little over How old
were you in sixty nine? I was the right, ten, right, Okay,
apparently we have a connection. Nineteen ninety one, Paul Simon
played the last ten gigs at Central Park, right, a
little residency over the summer.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, those must have been great.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Oh yeah, yea. Poor Paul is two things to say,
losing his hearing, so he's having a really tough time plan.
I just saw a clip over the weekend. I don't
know how old this was, but it's funny that he
came up now of him doing a show, kind of
a low key show somewhere fairly recently, and someone in
(08:35):
the audience screams out Coda Chrome and he said, I
you know, we haven't played that song in twenty years,
and you know, oh, come on play it. Crowd collapse
and he said, not unless you have twenty dollars. I'm
not playing that song. Not playing, And sure enough, the
guy pulls out A twenty and Paul Simon puts his
guitar down and walks out. The guy brings it up
(08:57):
to the front row, Paul examines it. Stuff's it in
this popucket brings brings himself back to his his post
and sits and plays Code Chrome for the guy.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
It's like a it's like a bar tip jar.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Did you see the I think it was Hulu the
Paul Simon.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Two parter, No, I have not seen that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, it's terrific. I think it's Hulu.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I always get the the you know, the platform along,
So don't don't count on me for sure, but I
do believe it was Hulu.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
What's a relationship like? Since you saw, what's a relationship like?
If I may who sidebar between he and Art? I
know that that they had their tough times? Are they
friendly and respectful to each.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Other recently reconciliation? Yep? Yeah, yep?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So what what was it? Was? It just the you
know the fact that they are a two person band
and they probably were just both nudges and drove each
other crazy. That's it?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, what else was going to happen eventually?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Right? Plus you look at arts hair and you go,
come on, I got to look at this. August sixteenth,
nineteen seventy seven. Another one. Remember where you were when
Elvis Presley died at Grace Lane. It was just forty
two years old when he died. Where were you?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I was in Texas visiting my brother who had lived there,
just for a few years outside of Houston, YEP.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I was at summer camp and I remember that summer
the Son of Sam stuff was happening in New York,
and I remember my parents sending me. I don't know
why this explains my fascination with true crime, but my
parents were sending me like the New York Daily News
or the Post to camp. Like my mother would bake
some cookies and my father would send the Son of
(10:42):
Sam stuff. And I remember after he died, like the
week later, I was still in camp, and my father
sent me a copy of the New York Post with
Elvis in his you know, in his casket or something
and crazy, but that's where I was, eleven years old
in summer camp.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Was your father sending you the full paper or was
he like my father did, sending clippings to you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I think I got the full newspaper on some of
that Son of Sam stuff. But you know, I think
on it now and I think my father sent me
a you know, story of the serial killer. The guy's
talking to hearing this guy's dog talking to himself? Was
that the right thing? But listen, it created the true
(11:29):
crime nut in me, and well, you know, we'll be
able to share my true crime, my fondness for true
crime at some point with.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
The world soon butz oh yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
In nineteen sixty two, Ringo Star officially joined the Beatles.
You remember who he replaced? Who the Beatles first drummer was?
That was?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That was Pete Best, Pete Best, Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Peep Best. Nineteen eighty, The Stones reached number one with
Emotional Rescue. Here's one we haven't really talked about in
the you know, however long we've been doing this, nothing's
come up for emotional rescue. Great album, great song.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah right, I think it's pretty It's a pretty good
one for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You know. It was in that period after Miss You
right some Girls with seventy eight, so you know, they
go from what's kind of a disco song to a
really quirky Stones un Stones like song. Yea with emotional rescue.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh yeah, but a great tune, great title too.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I didn't think about it.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Absolutely absolutely. August sixteenth, in nineteen ninety one, Nirvana shot
the music video for Smells Like teen Spirit. What a
song that was? Oh yeah, and our last item for
the for the week ending August seventeenth. The Doors in
nineteen sixty eight played their final live performance with Jim
(12:51):
Morrison the Hollywood Bowl, and of course they would go
on to play more shows with you know, other singers,
and I think Scott's app was one of them who
did a great like Love Me two Times if you remember.
And there have been other people that have played and
did play with the remaining members over the years, but
this was the last Jim Morrison doors performance at the
(13:13):
Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
At least for now that we know, because if he comes,
you know, out of the retirement up there in Syracuse,
New York, where he apparently lives, maybe you never know.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
You keep running the Jim Morrison still a live story.
People are going to start listening to. You're an authority
in music. At this point. You're getting you get a
million downloads a month on all your various podcasts, each
of them a million a month per podcast, and you're
telling people Jim Morrison's living behind the Dinosaur Barbecue and Syracuse.
I think you're starting a rumor here.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, you know, I really don't mean that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Where's your journalistic responsibility?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Buzz calls somehow I left it at the door.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
There you go, that's it, Buzz August seventeenth, the week
ending This week in music history.

Was your father sending you the full paper or was
he like my father did, sending clippings to you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I think I got the full newspaper on some of
that Son of Sam stuff. But you know, I think
on it now and I think my father sent me
a you know, story of the serial killer. The guy's
talking to hearing this guy's dog talking to himself? Was
that the right thing? But listen, it created the true
(11:29):
crime nut in me, and well, you know, we'll be
able to share my true crime, my fondness for true
crime at some point with.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
The world soon butz oh yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
In nineteen sixty two, Ringo Star officially joined the Beatles.
You remember who he replaced? Who the Beatles first drummer was?
That was?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That was Pete Best, Pete Best, Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Peep Best. Nineteen eighty, The Stones reached number one with
Emotional Rescue. Here's one we haven't really talked about in
the you know, however long we've been doing this, nothing's
come up for emotional rescue. Great album, great song.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah right, I think it's pretty It's a pretty good
one for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You know. It was in that period after Miss You
right some Girls with seventy eight, so you know, they
go from what's kind of a disco song to a
really quirky Stones un Stones like song. Yea with emotional rescue.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh yeah, but a great tune, great title too.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I didn't think about it.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Absolutely absolutely. August sixteenth, in nineteen ninety one, Nirvana shot
the music video for Smells Like teen Spirit. What a
song that was? Oh yeah, and our last item for
the for the week ending August seventeenth. The Doors in
nineteen sixty eight played their final live performance with Jim
(12:51):
Morrison the Hollywood Bowl, and of course they would go
on to play more shows with you know, other singers,
and I think Scott's app was one of them who
did a great like Love Me two Times if you remember.
And there have been other people that have played and
did play with the remaining members over the years, but
this was the last Jim Morrison doors performance at the
(13:13):
Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
At least for now that we know, because if he comes,
you know, out of the retirement up there in Syracuse,
New York, where he apparently lives, maybe you never know.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
You keep running the Jim Morrison still a live story.
People are going to start listening to. You're an authority
in music. At this point. You're getting you get a
million downloads a month on all your various podcasts, each
of them a million a month per podcast, and you're
telling people Jim Morrison's living behind the Dinosaur Barbecue and Syracuse.
I think you're starting a rumor here.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, you know, I really don't mean that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Where's your journalistic responsibility?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Buzz calls somehow I left it at the door.

ending This week in music history.
