I got to see Zep by accident, in '69. Went to see Taj Mahal, the opening act, but his van broke down and he didn't show. So we got four hours of "Led Who?" I seriously didn't know.
But my Bro and I had down-front tickets, literally fifteen feet from center stage in an acoustically perfect small auditorium. And we stayed for the show, despite the travails of our hero Taj.
Changed my fuckin' life, it did.
Oh, and we both agreed it was worth the $5.00 price of admission ;)
TCR, I know that was in 1969 bucks, but FIVE DOLLARS for fucking Zeppelin? Man. The last time they played Cleveland I was four. Seeing them back in their heyday would've been pretty goddamn sweet.
ME, oh I saw, believe you me.
AC, a criminally underrated tune. I think these guys will go far.
Okay, everyone get out your Zep CDs/tapes/albums/8-tracks and the alcoholic beverage/illegal substance of your choice. If you have to work tomorrow, just call in sick. I'll write you all up a note.
LBR, it certainly does, but he rocks like a courageous one. All Hail Zeppelin.

Ya Rasty Bastard,
Thanks so much for that. It brought me back.

Ok Randal...I did it. I'm officially a liar. I finished the meme you tagged me with.
That's my favorite song from Physical Graffiti.

Damn this YouTube blockage at work. It's just behind a firewall or something and I can't get to it. I'll have to get my Led out later.
Love Zep....brings back a lot of memories. Sigh....
Wow...what a sound! When did popular music take a wrong turn? Nobody can play like this anymore!
So much partying to Zep it makes me drunk just to hear it.
His hair looks like the cowardly lion. No?

Ok, I got to watch it now. I'll take my note now, Dr..
I have to work but I can do it from home....still...I feel a visit to the doctor is in order. Note please.
Freida Bee, take two of these and call me in the morning.
Colleen, lounging around in your PJs, getting altered with the Zep. I'm going to write myself a note!
