“Back To The Clubs”
March 21, 1971 ~ Led Zeppelin made a stop at the Boat Club in Nottingham, England during their "Back To The Clubs" tour. It was -- and still is -- a rowing club and intimate music venue. One can only imagine The Zepp in their prime in that setting. #ledzeppelin #70srock #rock #rockmusic #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #music #musicsky #musiciansky
Dressed To Kill
Kiss release their third album on March 19, 1975. This is the one that includes their anthem "Rock 'n' Roll All Nite." The cover is famous for depicting the band members in business suits while wearing their signature makeup. Peter Criss was the only member who owned a suit; the others had to borrow theirs from the band's manager, Bill Aucoin. The album's only 30 minutes in length ... which was fine for some. #kiss #dressedtokill #70srock #rockmusic…
