July 26, 2018, Paul McCartney does a special concert at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. This is a very small club, and in the Beatles days, Paul played here more than 300 times.

On this date in 1977, while Zeppelin is touring in the United States, Robert Plant finds out that very sadly, he has lost his young son, Karac, at five years old. Robert goes on to write the song, “All of My Love” about him.
As we look at the calendar, we find a few rock birthdays today. Gary Cherone, singer from both Extreme and Van Halen, Roger Taylor, drummer from Queen, and the front man for the Rolling Stones, the one and only Mick Jagger.
