A legendary concert in Toronto.
To launch the 2005–2007 A Bigger Bang tour, the Rolling Stones lit up Toronto’s Phoenix Club on August 10, 2005 — a secret show in front of just a few hundred fans.
That performance later became the live album Light The Fuse, released on this day in 2012.
The setlist features tracks from A Bigger Bang, some Stones classics and a few surprises — including Bob Marley’s Get Up, Stand Up and Otis Redding’s Mr Pitiful.

Sorry to hear the news about Garth Hudson. He was a beautiful guy and the real driving force behind The Band. Just listen to the original recording of The Weight and you’ll see.

Rest easy, and thank you for the music, Garth. The Band was magic.

My obit on Garth Hudson, the brainy, bush-bearded organist whose inimitable skills and endearing eccentricities displayed as a member of the pioneering Canadian-American roots-rock icons the Band made him an almost mythical figure since the late 1960s. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
The last man standing in one of the greatest bands we'll ever see. Thank you, Garth.
Today, we sadly say goodbye to Garth "Honey Boy" Hudson, the last living original member of The Band. A musical genius and cornerstone of the group’s timeless sound, Garth once said, “I found some true enjoyment in helping people get to the bottom of their feelings.” Through his music, he did just that—helping us all feel more deeply and connect to something greater. Rest easy, Garth. 🕊

On this day in 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
Let's learn more about this tragedy.
🧵1/20

ALT The image shows a large lake freighter ship named "Edmund Fitzgerald" sailing on a body of water. The ship has a white superstructure with a red hull and is flying a flag from its mast. The sky is overcast, and there is a plume of smoke coming from the ship's smokestack, indicating it is in operation. The ship is well-known due to its tragic sinking in a storm on Lake Superior in 1975, which inspired the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot.
The sweet sounds of The Jayhawks with some special guests - Travis Good of @TheSadies, @DaveRave, @jacksyperek of @thetrews, at The Great Hall last night.
