Once Upon A Summer

Summer Of 1967 – June 25 That Day And This Day Is Global BEATLES Day

Posted on by JL

Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer day somewhere in history

26 June 2026

On 25 June 1967,  THE BEATLES went global via a live television broadcast
as part of the UK’s contribution to the Our World event. They performed
their new single ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE in the EMI studios in London.

The programme was broadcast via satellite and seen
by an audience of over 400 million in 25 countries.

Lennon‘s lyrics were deliberately simplistic to allow for wide appeal
to the show’s international audience, and captured the utopian ideals
associated with the Summer of Love of 1967.

Listen up, for once, leaders of the world.

Pulse Magazine July, 1996 📸Karen Mason

Grunge legends SCREAMING TREES (1984-2000) fronted by the late great baritone
vocalist Mark Lanegan (1964-2022) released their illustrious 7th and final LP, titled
DUST on 25 June 1996, today 30 years ago.

Kerrang Magazine selected Dust as the best album of 1996. The band toured behind
Dust for nearly two years with former Kyuss and future Queens of the Stone Age frontman
JOSH HOMME serving as a touring guitarist.

UNCUT Magazine said in retrospect: “It sounded – and still sounds – like the perfect evolution of grunge, consciously realigning that upstart music with the classic rock and psychedelia which had preceded it.”

Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer date somewhere in history

24 June 2026

On 24 June 1999, guitar hero ERIC CLAPTON put no less than 100 of his guitars
up for auction at Christie’s in New York City to raise money for his drug rehab clinic,
the Crossroads Centre in Antigua in the Lesser Antilles.

His 1956 Fender Stratocaster named Brownie, which was used to record the electric
version of Layla, sold for a record $497,500. The auction helped raise nearly $5 million
for the clinic.

No, Eric, no more cocaine.

The now 82-year-old Canadian folk grandmaster JONI MITCHELL released her
4th, best known and timeless opus BLUE on 22 June 1971, today 55 years ago.

#3 in the UK, #15 in the US, #9 in Canada.

Pitchfork wrote in retrospect: “Blue is like a companion to Bob Dylan’s
Blood On The Tracks, a confessional album very much of its time that endures
on the strength of fantastic melodies and musical simplicity.”
