In 1967, Canned Heat performed at the Monterey (Calif.) Pop Festival, leading to a contract with Liberty Records.

In 1976, "The Jacksons," a summer variety show, began its network run on CBS-TV.

In 1978, the movie musical "Grease," with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta, premiered. The soundtrack produced two No. 1 singles, "Grease" (by Frankie Valli) and "You're the One That I Want" (by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John).

In 1982, Pretenders guitarist James Honeyman-Scott died following a period of cocaine and heroin addiction.

In 1988, Pink Floyd played Berlin. In East Berlin, 2,000 fans gathered at the wall to listen to the concert.

In 1993, the U.S. Postal Service released a set of seven stamps featuring rock and blues legends. The featured performers are Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, Clyde McPhatter, Otis Redding, Ritchie Valens, Dinah Washington and Elvis Presley. A separate Presley stamp was also issued earlier in the year.

In 1994, Kristen Pfaff was found dead in her bathtub with syringes and other suspected drug paraphernalia nearby. The 26-year-old was the bass player for Hole, the band of Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love.

In 1995, Pearl Jam kicked off their first tour without the involvement of Ticketmaster. The Seattle band had accused the company of monopolizing the ticket industry. Instead, tickets are sold through a mail-order service.

In 2002, Elvis Presley reappeared on the U.K. singles chart for the first time since shortly after his death in 1977, thereby breaking a quarter-century-long stalemate with the Beatles for the most chart-topping singles in British history. The remix of his 1968 track "A Little Less Conversation," credited to Elvis Vs. JXL and the first remix of any Presley recording sanctioned by his estate, hits the top with first week sales of nearly 250,000 copies.

In 2003, Toto apologized to keyboardist David Paich after claiming he was sitting out of their summer tour to get a sex change operation. Paich was actually tending to a sick family member. Guitarist Steve Lukather said he was sorry the joke got out of control.
