The original poster advertising the Winter Dance Party stop scheduled for Feb. 3, 1959. The concert never took place; Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens were killed in a plane crash hours before the show while on their way to way to that concert in Moorhead, Minnesota

But we kept Waylon!!

Original Amazon Website (1995)
Amazon.com was launched in July 1995. The logo was an abstract letter 'A' with a winding river flowing through it and the words Amazon.com, Earth’s biggest bookstore at the bottom. The color scheme of the site was typical for 1995 -- lots of gray and not terribly vibrant.

Google (formerly known as Backrub) (1996)
Their effort started off as a project hosted on Stanford servers called BackRub, so named since the system checked back-links to determine a site’s credibility. Within about a year, it quickly grew popular enough to warrant its own hosting and infrastructure outside of Stanford. An early project paper from 1997 is an interesting read and boldly predicted that "top search engines will handle hundreds of millions of queries per day by the year 2000." There aren't many screenshots of BackRub.

Early Stage Google (1997)
Google.com was registered on September 15th, 1997, and work began to port things over from BackRub to the new domain. Google the company did not yet exist, but the official domain name and very early branding allowed them to construct the first versions of Google as we know it today.

YouTube Launches (2005)
Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim launched YouTube in 2005, apparently as a dating site concept. An important point to note here: while the internet is fond of displaying this image with a broken layout as the first version of YouTube, we don't believe that's how the site truly looked. Most likely, this was a screenshot taken from the Wayback Machine that failed to render properly, leaving important elements off the page.

(This one most likely will cause Kwon to masturbate all over his keyboard and will culminate with him posting more random bullshit videos in the PPICTURE FUCKING THREAD)
