My favorite is Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio but I would never argue about that with someone whose favorite band is Led Zeppelin. Zep is absolutely incredible. I still listen to them weekly all the way in 2024 ..🤘
I was at Sundays Day on the Green in Oakland CA That was the last American concert by Led Zeppelin in 1977, Robert Plants son Keric , Died of a unusual stomach problem. Everything after that day was canceled Four years later John Bonham Passed away spelling the end of Led Zeppelin.
@@marcmayou1422 My older cousin brought my younger brother and myself to our first concert. I was 15 or 16..my cousins friend drove his mom's car. My brother and I were party virgins. We spilled the rum and coke on the carpet because it tasted like crap to us. We went through the concert sober.. last sober days of our lives. Concert was loud, really surreal, but not as surreal as the 1/4 mile long 25 feet wide line going into the stadium. Packed, thick, surreal. My cousins idiot friend dropped acid and tried to jump off the 2nd deck. They had front row 2nd deck. I think we sat behind them..hard to remember that long ago.
Was at Tampa Stadium before this concert a few months prior before in 1977 packed with over 100k , Zep plays 4 songs after the fans waited 12 hours in mid 90 degree heat, then gets rained out from a black Ominous cloud that literally moved over the stadium and Stopped 🛑 dumping 12 inches of rain in less then 15 mins . Zep's entire stage was flooded including the amps and P.A system . Concert was then cancelled even though the tickets said rain or shine, a ridiculous statement . Then a massive riot began with over 500 cops from 4 different cities in riot gear charging into the crowd busting people up with large steel batons to clear the stadium yelling leave or go to jail The chant Zeppelin Suck, roared from the crowd that expected the band to dry the stage and continue. The largest most brutal riot that was never recorded "
I was at the Tampa show. Basically three songs and a riot. :( There was only one person between me and the stage, then the rain came. Been to over 1000 concerts. It may still be the coolest three song I’d seen. They looked like giants.
I was blessed to have been there that night. Little did anyone know it would be the final LA show, with unforeseen tragedies on the horizon. Wonderful evening. I kept my T-shirt from the show and eventually gave it to my daughter. She kept it over the years, and then she died of cancer 4 years ago. 🙏🏼🥁
Impeccable gig. In the mid 80’s when boots were a hot thang, I had this show on triple vinyl. I was like 13 going on stupid, so even though It was THEEEE PRIZE of my entire album collection, I gave it to the hot chick who sold weed in HS. I’d give a toe, actually maybe a pinky finger to have it back!
That is exactly how a kick drum should sound live that's why they sound is so large the sound engineers of today are absolutely horrible I see concerts I can scream louder than the band is playing
@@doctorbrainstem Wikipedia is wrong Oakland coliseum I worked for Bill Graham presents I was there I photographed their concert I got it signed by Jimmy Page on my wall
It was the guitar center on Sunset Blvd which has since moved across the street. His friends went down there because one of them was interested in a drum set. They just happen to be there at the same time as Jimmy and Bonham were there for a pickup.
Hey dr, did your dad get photos or autographs from Page or Bonham when he met them? A handshake and conversation would've been great, but since they hitchhiked, I'm assuming they didn't drag a camera along. Thanks for sharing!
Picutre was never taken but my dad tore a part of an ovation poster off the wall and was given a sharpie or pen (he doesn’t remember which) and was signed by Jimmy Page, and he wrote the following: “Jimmy Page, all the best.” and John Bonham spelled out his name. Several years later in the early 80s, it was in his senior yearbook while moving. Placed into the trunk of his‘71 Mustang and the car was stolen, losing his senior yearbook and prized autograph.
We papered a dining room wall with a stolen billboard advertisment 7 Up figures dancing. When we were done we sat and watched the wall move and melt listening to Quadrafenia and Moody Blues on a 450 watt per channel quadrasonic system. Never did hear the cops knock on the door?😢😊😮😅😂🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We went to the orange bowl in Miami to buy tickets for the Tampa show on this tour,the police showed up and a shot off tear gas and beat the hell out of peaple with thier billy clubs,what a mess,thankfully we never got tickets because a rain storm ended the Tampa concert very early
