On this day in 1963, Graham Nash fell out of The Hollies van after a gig in Scotland. Nash checked to see if the door was locked, it wasnt and he fell out as it traveled at 40 m.p.h. 1965, The Paul McCartney song Yesterday was released as a Beatles single in the US. The final recording was so different from other works by The Beatles that the band members vetoed the release of the song as a single in the United Kingdom. (However, it was issued as a single there in 1976). 1969, John and Yoko flew to Canada with the Plastic Ono Band to perform at the Rock & Roll Revival Show in Toronto, Canada. The band members Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann and drummer Alan White were put together so late that they had to rehearse on the plane from England. Also making an appearance at the concert were Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, Bo Diddley, The Doors and Alice Cooper. Lennon later released his performance as the Live Peace in Toronto 1969 album. 1991, Geffen Records threw a party to launch Nirvanas single Smells Like Teen Spirit. The band ended up being thrown out of their own party after starting a food fight. Happy birthday to Don Was and the father of bluegrass, the great Bill Monroe!!
