Whole Lotta Led

Saw them twice. Pure magic.

That should be a great rockumentary.  Can’t get enough Led. 

"Saw them twice. Pure magic"

tony1954-

I missed the LAST opportunity in 1977 when the might Zep played 6 sold out nights at the LA Forum in SoCal.

Face value of tickets were somewhere between $7-20 bucks with scalper prices around $50+.

Based on today's valuation that around $261. That's a nosebleed furthest away from stage these days for a "top act"

A most difficult decision-to pick the coolest Jimmy:

Air guitar Jimmy

How a proper intro is played? Butcherd by most

Rolling Stone reviewers consistently eviscerated their early albums but they were unstoppable.

LedZep II was unlike anything else at the time, so much so that the MC at a James Gang concert in Memphis stepped up to announce the playing at midnight of their third album, which really threw the hard rock crowd somewhat of a curve.

Saw them in ‘74, they burned the coliseum down, but only nostalgia lasts forever.

My little Honolulu blues band opened for them in 1969 (second half of their first tour). Talked to Page about his Les Paul just before they went on (he showed me a recent fingerboard ding) they had so much amazing energy then, somewhat less later likely due to Page's chemical issues. Fun after party (!).
