On This Day In METAL History, January 24th… From Led Zeppelin To Tesla
On January 24th, 1970 – With their first two studio albums already released, the mighty Led Zeppelin perform at Leeds Town Hall, (Leeds University), in Leeds, UK.
On this day in 1989 – The sensational SKID ROW releases their debut and self-titled studio album, via Atlantic Records. This great album goes on to sell 5 million (plus) units in the United States, alone. Yes, this is the album that features Youth Gone Wild; check out the track list above!
IRON MAIDEN – X Factor and X Factour band lineup, from L to R: Dave Murray (guitar), Steve Harris (bass), Blaze Bayley (vocals), Janick Gers (guitar) and Nicko McBrain (drums).
On January 24th, 1996 – IRON MAIDEN performed at Théâtre de Verdure, Nice, France. This was one of many stops on IRON MAIDEN’s X Factour, supporting their tenth studio album released in 1995: The X Factor. Whoa!
On this day in 2004 – The iconic IRON MAIDEN performed at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, New York, USA. IRON MAIDEN were on the road for their Dance Of Death World Tour.
IRON MAIDEN delivered a 13 song setlist and on the 13th song, (which was the classic Iron Maiden), some dumb dumb threw a beer on the soundboard; thus the concert ended earlier than scheduled.
On January 24th, 2013 – The fierce WHITE CHAPEL, EMMURE, and UNEARTH performed at Studio Seven in Seattle, Washington, USA; this was the Brothers Of Brutality tour. Obey The Brave and Ohio’s The Plot In You also performed as supporting acts.
On this day in 2015 – The fabulous TESLA is scheduled to perform at the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Mescalero, New Mexico, USA. TESLA ROCKS!! Shown above is the cover for the seventh studio album, released in 2014, from TESLA: Simplicity.

Tesla is coming to Raleigh. I hate I have to miss it. No money and on a Sunday night – 2 things that are hard to overcome. Hope I have a chance to see them one more time. Simplicity was a great album. They really never have put out a bad one.

Don’t let it get you down, I’ve missed more concerts than I wanted to over the years and heck, we’re not as fortunate as Eddie Trunk! LOL!
I so agree with you… TESLA has never released a bad or even average album. I even love their “Five Man Acoustical Jam” album! Hey… rumors have it that you… ROCK \m/\m/
