35th anniversary today - November 26, 1990 - release of "Crazy" the debut solo single from Seal. Of course - many of us had already discovered that voice from the anthem "Killer" by Adamski out earlier in the year. Seal would re-record "Killer" and release it as his own in the fall of 91. 👍😎👍

50 years ago this month - November 1975 - release of the single "Slowride" from Foghat. For some reason I always think of Don Kirsher's Rock Concert when I hear the name Foghat. Feel like they were on a lot or repeated a lot on that show. Air guitar classic! 👍😎👍

Toronto Concert History: 35 years ago today - November 25, 1990 - Jane's Addiction play The Concert Hall. Thumbs up for the Toronto crowd I guess we passed the test! The band stopped and walked out of their show in Philly 6 days earlier because according to reports Perry "didn't like the audience"
