Some historical-type things at the top of your Wednesday:

‣ The Fabulous Forum [above] – $100 million in renovations later – reopens tonight with a concert featuring the Eagles. It’s their first of five shows there.
‣ The Whisky a Go Go’s 50th anniversary celebration continues with a show from iconic punk rockers X.
‣ A couple of legends, Johnny Rivers and Jimmy Webb, team up for “An Evening of Classic American Music” at the Saban Theatre – 50 years to the day after Rivers played opening night at the Whisky.
‣ U.K. singer John Newman [see our Week Ahead post for a video] visits the El Rey Theatre behind his recently released debut “Tribute.”
‣ And Portland’s Wild Ones [see “From Nothing”] visits the Bootleg Bar, supported by Wages and Victory.
