The End of the 60s – the music of 1969

The 1960s was the decade that change the world and forever changed the course of every aspect of our society, both here and abroad. The way we thought,COLORED PEACE SIGN communicated, and danced….what we wrote, sang and believed in was a radical departure from every previous generation as the fear and confusion of our parents proved.

And the one thing that was the linchpin…the fountain from which all of this sprang was the music we created. Vladimir Putin said the he believed that The Beatles were one of the primary causes for the fall of the Soviet Union a statement many would have a difficult time believing unless you were there….like I was!

Here is a brief stroll down memory lane highlighting some of the key dates in music during 1969….the last year of the decade that changed the world,

  •  January 4 – Guitarist Jimi Hendrix causes complaints of arrogance from television producers after playing an impromptu version of "Sunshine of Your Love" past his allotted timeslot on the BBC1 show Happening for Lulu.
  • January 12 – Led Zeppelin’s eponymous debut album released.
  • January 30 – The Beatles perform for the last time in public, on the roof of the Apple building at 3 Savile Row, London. The performance, which was filmed for the Let It Be movie, is stopped early by police after neighbors complain about the noise.
  • March 1 – During a performance at Miami‘s Dinner Key Auditorium, Jim Morrison of The Doors is arrested for allegedly exposing himself during the show. Morrison is officially charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent behavior, open profanity and public drunkenness. (I was there!)
  • March 20 – John Lennon marries Yoko Ono in Gibraltar
  • March 25-31 – John Lennon and Yoko Ono host a "Bed-In" for peace in their room at the Amsterdam Hilton, turning their honeymoon into an anti-war event.

  • June 2 – John Lennon and Yoko Ono host a "Bed-In" at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Canada. The couple records the song "Give Peace a Chance" live in their suite with Tommy Smothers, Timothy Leary, and several others.
  • August 9 – Sharon Tate and several others are found murdered, in the home Tate shares with husband Roman Polanski. The culprits turn out to be disciples of Charles Manson, a would-be folk singer.
