June 14th, 1970

Derek and the Dominoes (led by Eric Clapton) make their live debut in Great Britain.  They are joined on stage by Dave Mason, who plays the guitar parts originated by Duane Allman on their soon-to-be timeless rock classic, “Layla.”


Also on this date, Grand Funk Railroad unveils a block-long billboard in New York City’s Time Square, advertising their new record release, “Closer To Home.”  The tab for this little bit of advertising?  $100,000!
