1967: Due to increasing public furor over the Monkees being a "manufactured" band, the group issues a statement claiming it will hereby play its own instruments on all new releases (the group had already performed as a band live on stage). The promise lasts for one album, 1967's Headquarters. oldies.about.com/od/oldieshistory/a/february11.htm |

1964: Fresh from their first appearance on CBS' Ed Sullivan Show, the Beatles leave for Washington, DC in a snow storm in order to give their first US live performance at the Washington Coliseum, with opening acts Tommy Roe, the Caravelles, and the Chiffons. Yet another press conference is given before the show. The performance -- "Roll Over Beethoven," "From Me to You," "I Saw Her Standing There," "This Boy," "All My Loving," "I Wanna Be Your Man," "Please Please Me," "Till There Was You," "She Loves You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Twist and Shout," and "Long Tall Sally" -- is also filmed by CBS for closed-circuit broadcast; ... They sang 12 songs? That sounds like a 40 minute concert. Who did they think they were - the Beatles or something? .... Oh. They were, weren't they?  |

1956: Elvis is finally allowed to sing "Heartbreak Hotel". Even all the scandalous forbidden lyrics?  1967: Yeah, the Pre-Fab Four! |
