Where are we going today, Mr. Peabody?

We're setting the Wayback Machine to music history. At our first stop of the Wayback Machine, the year 1953, it was on this day that an 18-year-old Elvis Presley, a truck driver by trade, stops into Memphis Recording Service, which was later renamed Sun Studios. He paid $3.98 to record two songs, My Happiness and This One. That's when your heartaches begin.

He was 18 years old. He was a truck driver, and he paid $3.98 to record it. 1960 on this day. Hank Ballard and the Midnighters released The Twist. The song didn't become a hit until later in the year when Chubby Checker covered it. 1970, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple played a free concert at London's High Park. 1978, Def Leppard made their live debut. They performed for an audience of 150 at the Westfield School and Sheffield, England. And on this day in 2008, Billy Joel played the last play at Shea concert, the final show before Shea Stadium was closed down. Joel was joined on stage by Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, and the Who's Roger Daltry. Well, since it was on this day in 1960 that Hank Fallard and the Midnighters released their version of the twist, the original, we've got that song cued up next. Keep it locked in. Captain Crange.
