Today in Music History: May 19th, XXXX

From my boot vaults; on this day in music history: (1) The Cult played the Pinkpop Festival in Gelesen, Holland (1986), (2) Led Zeppelin played the Boston Tea Party in Boston, MA (1969), (3) Sara Bareilles played The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, CA (2006), and (4) Steve Perry did a Rockline interview across the USA (1999) (his first interview after leaving Journey). Here are a few others that didn't pull up by doing a date search: (5) Led Zeppelin played the Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft. Worth (1973), (6) Greatful Dead played the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA (1966), and (7) Sammy Hagar played the Winterland in San Francisco and had special guests Neal Schone and Eddie Money join him for 3 or 4 songs at the end of the concert (great video) (1978) And darn, Fleetwood Mac played in Oakland, CA overnight (05/18/1977). It sounds like it would've been a good concert night across America and in Holland too...
