Aimee Mann is the only guest vocalist on a Rush track, having sung on the band’s 1987 single “Time Stand Still” back when ‘Til Tuesday were still active. Rush kicked off their first tour in over a decade last night in Inglewood, CA, and they brought Mann onstage to perform the song live with them for the first time…

Joy Division’s legendary performance of “She’s Lost Control” on the BBC’s Something Else show (recorded Sept 1, 1979, broadcast Sept 15) is one of post-punk’s defining moments. Filmed in a stark, unadorned Manchester studio, this rare national television appearance perfectly captured the bleak beauty, mechanical rhythms, and raw emotional intensity of the band.

Imagine you're in the audience and you're watching Jimi Hendrix covering The Beatles.

Jimi Hendrix covers 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', two days after its release, 1967.

Hendrix, who was already a great fan of the band, bought the album on the day of its release and two days later performed an audacious cover of the title track at the Saville Theatre.

He didn't know at the time that some of The Beatles were in the audience.

Paul McCartney said later he was honoured by the tribute;

"Simply incredible, perhaps the best I have ever seen him play."

[Raoul Duke @batcountry1980]

First page:

'This was music with no guitars at all, no indebtedness to the blues, no appeal to any of the basic motivations behind so much pop music such as who to love, and, essentially, no frontman for the audience to identify with, writes Kraftwerk biographer David Buckley. Kraftwerk was 'a complete theoretical annihilation of most of the precedents and tenets on which modern rock music was based'

Game changers.

Led Zeppelin never ventured into Christmas music but on December 15, 1984, Robert Plant and his band the Honeydrippers, performed Elvis Presley’s 1957 classic “Santa Claus Is Back In Town” on NBC’s Saturday Night Live hosted by Eddie Murphy. Also guesting were Brian Setzer(Stray Cats) on guitar and Paul Shaffer on piano.

On This Day in 1985, New Order played two shows at The Haçienda — a matinee performance followed by an evening set — with Happy Mondays joining as support.
