The Rock Pod / This Week In Rock Music History 08/31 - 09/06

From Beatles anthems to Doors demos, this week in rock history is stacked. Hey Jude stormed the charts in 1968, Traffic played their swan song, and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s friends and heroes gathered for a tearful tribute. The Grateful Dead funked things up with Shakedown Street, Tom Waits turned weird with Swordfishtrombones, and The Doors cut their first-ever demo. Plus, George Harrison gave us While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries was born.Listen now at TheRockPod.com #TheRockPod #RockMusicHistory #Podcast #RocknRoll #TheBeatles #TheDoors #StevieRayVaughan #Traffic #ThisWeekInRockMusicHistory #TheCranberries #GratefulDead #TomWaits
