I first saw them headline the first night of the Laurel Pop Festival in Laurel, MD in the summer of '69; to say that blew me away would be an understatement. Saw them in Syracuse in the early 70's and Oakland in '77, but I also went to a couple of Page/Plant tour shows, and I liked those better than LZ; much tighter playing...
Whole Lotta Led
My Zeppelin stampers dont get played much these days.
In fact, the entire genre is collecting dust.
I am however, looking forward to seeing this

@tablejockey - interesting you say that, because I did go see Jimi at Baltimore Civic Center on Mother's Day of 1969..... |
I've mentioned this before so forgive me, but I first laid eyes and ears on Hendrix at a 1967 Santa Barbara show (I was visiting from Honolulu) with Moby Grape and Tim Buckley...Buckly opened, Grape closed. My 16 year old mind was blown and remains so. My friend who was with me got the tix because we were Buckley fans...At the end of his set Hendrix tossed his Strat up over his amp ripping through the large light show screen (must have been paper, and they must have cleared people out of the way) and crashing down backstage...yay...Grape, who closed the show, were also astonishing. |
