In 1977, KISS played the first of three nights at The Forum, with each show being recorded for their upcoming live album, Alive II.
In 1970, the recording studio Electric Lady opened in New York City. Commissioned by Jimi Hendrix in 1968, the studio is still in use to this day. Unfortunately for Hendrix, he would only be able to use the studio for ten weeks before his death that September.
And finally in 1994, Hole returned to the stage for the first time since the death of their bass player Kristen Pfaff and Courtney Love’s husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
