The Allman Brothers Band played the Citi club in Boston on this night in 1991.  That club is the site of what current city concert venue?

Answer: House of Blues

Here’s the rest of the Rock N’ Roll Diary for June 19:

  • 1965: The Kinks made their U.S. debut at New York’s Academy of Music when they opened for another British band, the Moody Blues.
  • 1967: In a news interview on British television, Paul McCartney repeated a statement he had made in a Life magazine article that he had taken LSD, which resulted in an uproar in the media.
  • 1984: Bruce Springsteen continued his dominance of the US rock concert circuit when he began a 10-night residency at the Meadowlands arena in New Jersey.  Over 200,000 tickets were sold in just over a day.
  • 1987: Ben & Jerry’s ice cream announced its newest flavor, cherry Garcia, after the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia.
  • 2006: Billy Preston was remembered by his friends at a viewing and musical tribute.  Joe Cocker was among the artists who offered salutes
