DJ Fred’s Rock N’ Roll Factoids For November 4th [VIDEOS]

‘In the cheaper seats you clap your hands. The rest of you, just rattle your jewelery."  Do you remember who said that?

It was John Lennon with the famous quip on this day in 1963 when the Beatles played live at The Royal Variety Show at The Prince Of Wales Theatre, London, with the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret in attendance.  That's what they get for letting those long-hairs in the house.

Get Off My Cloud by the Rolling Stones #1 on this date in 1965, the song is not to be confused with the popular Clint Eastwood movie saying, "Get off my lawn," although it pretty much means the same thing.

In 1967 Pink Floyd made their U.S. debut when they shared a bill with Janis Joplin and Richie Havens.  No, that wasn't the smell of Patchouli wafting over the crowd that night.

The Last Waltz, the Martin Scorsese movie, premiered on this date in 1977. It was promoted as The Band's final concert, and featured guest stars like Neil Young, Van Morrsion, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond and Eric Clapton.  This movie is a must see for any fan of rock!
