1967, The Move, Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Zoot Money and Pink Floyd all appeared at the Tulip Bulb Auction Hall in Spalding, Lincs, England. Tickets cost £1.

1969, Crosby, Stills & Nash released their self-titled debut on Atlantic Records label. It spawned two top 40 hits, “Marrakesh Express” and “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.” The photo was taken by their friend and photographer Henry Diltz before they came up with a name for the group. They found an abandoned house in West Hollywood with an old, battered sofa outside, that they thought would be a perfect fit for their image. A few days later they decided on the name “Crosby, Stills, and Nash”, but when they went back to the house a day or so later to re-shoot the cover in the correct order, but when they got there they found the house had been demolished.
