Speaker 1 (00:04):
I'm Buds Night and welcome to the Taken a Walk Podcast,
and welcome to another this week in music history. This
is for the week of October the sixth to October
the thirteenth today. Mathematically, do that correctly, Harry Jacobs over
at the Music History Desk, the Master of Music, the
Master of Mayhem.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Monday to sixth through Sunday to twelfth. All right, we go, Okay,
our calendar is Monday through Sunday. Bus all right, so
you you I sit corrected, correct, correct.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There's a lot to get to and I'm going to
kind of fly through some stuff and we could decide
what you want to talk about and what you want
to let go by first one nineteen sixty seven, October sixth,
Purple Hayes released in the US arguably one.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Of the best Hendrick songs. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Bizarre sounding from a musical standpoint, very different but iconic,
but I oh yeah. Barn Burner seventy eight in Excess
played their first live show in Sydney.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
They realized they went back to seventy eight. But I
guess thinking about you.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Know, they were you know, they were around in eighty
you know, kind of the tail end of New Waves,
so it you know, that makes sense. But in seventy
eight they played their first show in Sydney, and I'm a.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Fan of the Asses myself. Yeah, yeah, I am. I
am too.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And you know what else I liked from that region.
It was Jimmy Barnes who played with Inxcess.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I forgot about him.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, good times Jimmy Barnes and in excess, what a
barn burner that song is. Right nineteen eighty, Bob Marley
collapsed on stage in Pittsburgh and that would be his
final performance.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Oh man, I.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Don't believe that he knew he was sick when he
went on that tour. Oh wow, I believe he lived
without knowing he had cancer.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Wow, that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
October seventh, nineteen sixty seven, Cass Elliott, Mama's and Papas
gave birth to her daughter, Owen Vanessa. It's a name
that doesn't ring up bell with me. And everybody loved Cass.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I think we talked of that on a previous episode.
She was she was beloved. Did you know she was
on a little bit of a career track that one
of the things she could have been doing would have
been hosting kind of like some sort of variety show,
like sit down talk show, that.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Type of thing. Do you know there was there was
talk about that, Oh she's a she was a little
bit of a gabby girl that she loved to just
chit chat. Yep. Very interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Her her birth name was Ellen Naomi Cohen, but she
took cass Elliott on. She lost her life in nineteen
seventy four.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think there would have been I think there would
have been a lot of a lot of a lot
of stuff music out of her if she if she
survived and lived on, so agreed.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Nineteen seventy five, October seventh, John Lennon won his green
card battle against the United States government. Wow, there was
a movement of foot to keep him out yep. Nineteen
seventy nine, October seventh, in Through the Outdoor, Zeppelin went
to number one on the album charts. And I I
(03:23):
believe this is right around the time that they lost
John Bonham, right, that's right. The album was released and
then then it happened.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, because the album I remember it was so well received, right,
The packaging was brillioned. It was a deep album, had hits,
had you know, deep tracks, on it.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Remember carauslambra on Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, so it was really it was really well received,
and that was in particular my recollection. You know why
even more everybody was floored by the death of John
Bonham because it was such a bright moment that album
and Zeppelin history in the evening was an they're great
long one on that, but a bunch of great songs.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He one.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But ye, yeah, this was the day I went to
number one on the US charts. October eighth, nineteen sixty six.
Cream made their London debut at London Polytechnic College.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's wild thinking about it out of college. Yeah right,
you know absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
You know, I wonder if artists look at dates. You know,
I'm kind of noticing a little led Zeppelin trend on
this date in different years. And seventy one they released
their fourth album with Stairway and Misty Mountain Hop and
you know, just when the levy breaks, just a barn
burner of an album. And you know, nineteen seventy nine,
(04:46):
the day before they had released In Through the Outdoor.
I wonder if if there's a pattern or logic in
release dates or superstition.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, that's a really good question.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I wonder whether it has to do with the fact,
at least in European culture, that holidays are are very
sacred for citizens of the UK or Europe. They take
their time, They take a long period of time. Three weeks,
you know, a month off is not unusual compared to
(05:21):
the American attitude is grind a week out, you've taken
your vacation. If you did two, oh my god, how
could you? So?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I wonder whether.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It was lifestyle that yielded or I wonder whether it
had to do, you know, strategically on airplay releases and
that was what led it, or I think it was
the first, but superstition could have been there too.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You never know.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You know, you're also going when you do it. You're
talking about the fourth corner, right, talking about Christmas.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
That's old sales and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So there's probably logic and from a from a marketing
and purchase album sales perspective, yeah, probably not a beast strategy,
that's right. Ninth nineteen forty, John Lennon was born in
Liverpool and by the way, thirty years later, thirty five
years later, Sean was born on John's thirty fifth birthday.
(06:14):
Crazy yep, and in eighty five This is all Beatles related.
On October ninth, Yoko dedicated the Imagined Mosaic Memorial in
Central Park. October ninth, the tenth of October, King Crimson
recorded their debut album in the Core of the Crimson King.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Seventy Black Sabbath released Paranoid in the US, and in
nineteen eighty on October tenth, John Bonham's funeral took place.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Oh everything comes full circle, Yeah, it does, it does.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I don't know if there's any anything worth stopping, you know,
on that four I did, by the way, just watch
again in the last year.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Song remains the same, oh really.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Which I thought was really fun, all right, And obviously
we saw the Zeppelin documentary as well, coming Led Zeppelin
or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's called great great film.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
October eleventh and sixty eight, Mary Hopkins Apple Records released
Mary Hopkins.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Those were the days, produced by holl McCartney. I loved it.
Great song. Yeah, I don't know that one. I just
know it's a.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Test almost like a song you would you would sing
at a pub over there.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Okay, yeah, gotcha, Yeah, beer drinking piny guinness kind of
in seventy five on October eleventh, Saturday Night Live premiered
on NBC. Of course, the show became iconic for iconic
rock acts and and music musicians of all genres YEP
to play there. Nineteen ninety, Dave Grohle played his first
(07:55):
gig with Nirvana in North Carolina. Wow, big day there.
Last day of the week, October the twelfth, and sixty two,
Little Richard returned to rock and roll after a brief
stint as a minister.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
That's right, pretty sure, yeah, ye.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well that's great. Well, Harry, thank you for this week
in music history. It's a perfect time to wind this
one down because there's a FedEx truck here.

week in music History for the week of October sixth
