On This Day:

In 1972 The Rolling Stones released the album “Exile on Main Street.”
In 1975 The Jefferson Starship gave a free concert in New York’s Central Park to celebrate the band’s 10th anniversary. An estimated 60-thousand fans showed up, and a New York radio station ended up paying 14-thousand-dollars to clean up the area and repair damage caused by the fans.
In 1979 Singer Mickey Thomas made his debut with the Jefferson Starship at a free concert in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

In 2013 David Bowie’s classic hit “Space Oddity” was featured in the first video made in space. NASA commander Chris Hadfield created the clip, filming his performance of the song while at the International Space Station.
