July 8th, 1994 - Face to Face
On July 8th, Billy Joel and Elton John started on a 14 city, 21 night summer concert series featuring dueling pianos. For Billy Joel, it was his first tour in 10 years. They plaid their own music, they played each others music, and they preformed duets. The series was so successful, that it ran again in the summer of 1995 and again in the summer of 1998 taking the show globally to Europe and Asia.
March 8th, 1994 - The Downward Spiral
Released today alongside Soundgarden’s most well known album is Nine Inch Nails’ most well known album, The Downward Spiral. The 14 track album peaked at 23 on the billboard charts and to date has sold nearly 4 million copies.
The album as well as it’s 4th single, Hurt, were nominated for Grammys (the Hurt video is above).
Fun weird fact, the album was recorded in the house where Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson Family in 1969. Trent Rezner was the final residant of the house, moving out in December of 1993. In 1994 the house was demolished and a new house was built on the property.
October 12th 1994 - Page and Plant - No Quarter
MTV brought Led Zeppelin's main songwriters together on August 25 and August 26 to tape performances in London, Wales, and Morocco with Egyptian and Moroccan orchestration of several Led Zeppelin tunes along with four new songs. The performances aired on October 12 and were released on CD as as No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant UnLeaded on October 14th in the UK and November 8th in the US.
The album was so successful commercially that the two coordinated a tour together that kicked off in February 1995.
Notably John Paul Jones, the bass guitarist for Led Zeppelin, was not asked to join for either No Quarter nor for the tour. However, Jason Bonham, the son of deceased drummer John Bonham, did tour with his dad’s band.
The album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard charts in the US.
