Knowing Plant and the time, he probably stuffed his pants.
Becoming Led Zeppelin
Caught a matinee viewing(Non Imax- unfortunately)with the friend for the opening of "The Song Remains the Same" in 76.
Timeline focus is on the 1st & 2nd LP and well paced. It was nice to see footage I haven’t seen before.
The picture and SQ surprisingly good, which had me wishing we made the effort to see the IMAX version.
Zepheads- see the IMAX version if you have plans to see this
Fun watch for a Rock film.
Zep trivia- JPJ revealed he listened to Quads in his setup!
I saw them in 73? Houses of the Holy tour. Amazing but the drum solo went on and on for way too long. As a side note, my GF, now my wife said that Robert Plant had a huge boner throughout most of the show. We were sitting third row center at the Providence Civic Center. Thought I would share that bit of nostalgia. |
@larsman I'm envious of that era show (I'm only 64) sounds like a great one what a great memory. There was an older lady in the crowd for the movie (of only six - matinee) who said after the show she'd seen them in '69 too. She said she enjoyed the movie. @tablejockey @noromance of course.... those were the days. For BCLZ I chose something more modern lol, an edible and a concealable flask of distilled spirits. |
@pehare - I got to see them in '69 at the Laurel Pop Festival in Laurel, MD. They were told they had to finish up their set so they said, "One more?" - they got permission and played 'How Many More Times' for over 30 minutes! But they still weren't done - as they were walking off the stage, they suddenly ran back and started playing 'Communication Breakdown', and then they cut the power off on 'em. Plant let out a scream that you could hear unamplified though most of the venue! |
"Never noticed over the smell of weed in the auditorium." noromance- Yeah, I do remember there was a concert vibe for TSRTS way back when. We got primed in the parking lot, along with MANY. "My only complaint was it wasn’t LOUD enough." pehare- My ears can’t handle proper R&R volume these days, but the theatre did have a decent setup where Bonzo’s drumming/JPJ bass was felt. Another reminder it’s a must see in IMAX! I got a kick out of seeing ticket prices for those early year shows-$5. Memory isn’t too sharp, but I think concert going experiences started around $8-10 due to inflation?
