After a shaky start to the show, Elvis stopped the band and jokingly said: “Wait a minute…if we can start together fellas, because we’ve got Led Zeppelin out there, lets try to look like we know what were doing.” All four members of Zeppelin met with Elvis after the show, spending over two hours backstage. Elvis asked for all the group’s autographs for his daughter Lisa Marie.

1981 - Jamaican singer-songwriter Bob Marley died at Miami's Cedars of Lebanon Hospital (now University of Miami Hospital) due to malignant melanoma. He was only 36. Regarded as a hero and near-deity in his native Jamaica and abroad, Marley was given a state funeral and buried near his birthplace in St. Ann's Parish, Jamaica. The 1984 Bob Marley compilation album, Legend, is the best-selling reggae album ever with sales of more than 20 million copies, and Time magazine chose Bob Marley & The Wailers' Exodus as the greatest album of the 20th century. In 1990, Marley's birthday, February 6, was proclaimed a national holiday in Jamaica.

2014 - Bass guitarist Ed Gagliardi, best-known as the original bass player with Foreigner, died at age 62 after an eight-year battle with cancer. In 1981, Gagliardi formed the band Spys with former Foreigner keyboardist Al Greenwood.
