1797: Happy Birthday to Franz Schubert
1955: RCA demonstrates first music synthesizer
1963: A seventeen-year-old Neil Young makes his stage debut at a country club in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
1970: In New Orleans, the Grateful Dead are arrested for possession of LSD and barbituates, an incident which would inspire one of their most famous songs, "Truckin'." (Apparently the band had fun afoul of mob interests in Texas, and the mob alerted the NOPD. This explains lines like "Houston, too close to New Orleans" and "Set up, like a bowling pin.")
