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!
