1971: Rick Nelson is booed when he performs newer, country-tinged music during a Rock 'n Roll Revival concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Nelson would use the experience to write the hit song "Garden Party," which would reach No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the fall of 1972 and prove to be Nelson's last Top 40 hit on the pop chart.
