Classic Rock Almanac - 1/13

Tuesday January 13, 2009
The January 13 page in the classic rock almanac:

• 1968 - A report from a University of Florida lab concludes that the sound level at a typical rock concert is harmful to the human ear
• 1973 - Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert is recorded during a live concert in London that also featured Pete Townshend (The Who); Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Ric Grech and Rebop Kwaku Baah (Traffic); and Ronnie Wood (Faces)
• 1979 - Not flattered by the publicity, the YMCA sues Village People over their song, "Y.M.C.A." - the suit is later dropped

Happy Birthday to:
John Lees - Barclay James Harvest - 1947
Trevor Rabin - Yes - 1954
Fred White - Earth Wind & Fire - 1955
