#OnThisDay In 1975, Lynyrd Skynyrd play the first night of a two-night stand at New Century Theatre. This concert is infamous for the balcony swaying during the band’s performance of Free Bird.

#OnThisDay In 1970, The Allman Brothers Band performs two sets at the former Aliotta’s Lounge. This concert has become infamous because following the show the band’s tour manager Twiggs Lyndon Jr. stabbed and killed the club’s owner, Angelo Aliotta.
