Led Zeppelin fans

[Spiritinthesky]

Any Zeppelin fans? Did anyone ever see them play live?

New iPhone / iPad app lists every show they ever played, has a quiz and tons of trivia.

They were the band that made the blueprint for so many other rock bands.

Best rock band of all time. I just missed out on them. My concert career started in '79 and we moved from DC to New Mexico that year so it was the Cap Center (which kicked ass at the time) to the Pan American Center. Yeah, I'd never heard of it either. To her credit, Barbara Hubbard the musical director of NMSU at the time had some pull so we did get some bigger shows but no Zep. And then it was over.

Seen some bootlegged concert footage and TSRTS a couple hundred times.

Is there anything on the app about the infamous gig they didn't play at the Wheaton Youth Center?

[Spiritinthesky]

Yes there is, I read that the other day on the app. Is that the gig where only 55 people showed up?

I can't believe it. That's it.

And that's supposedly showed up. Either way, it's a cool piece of local folklore.

Any Zeppelin fans?

No, I don't think such a thing exists

I still like to watch the "reunion" show from the O2 arena in London, it's excellent. Have you heard about Jimmy Page's new book? I heard it's about 650 pages full of photographs of himself. Here's the kicker, it costs approx $685.
Anyways I love the band. "In my time of dying" is just simply incredible.

Saw them in 77 at cap center. Not one of the best concerts I've seen. Started 2 1/2 hours late, obviously very wasted and John Bonham did a 45 minute timpani solo. Pretty disappointing performance but they really were a good band.

By my math that would have made you about 8 years old.
Probably did seem like a long show.

I never did get to see them, Bonham died just as they were about to go on the tour I would have likely had my chance.

But the question "Do you like Led Zeppelin" has always been answered with that look that says "What, are you from some other planet or something?"


Definitely my favorite, and one of my favorite albums of all time.

I never saw them live, but I was once raped with a fish.

I wonder if it was this show. I have a bootleg box set of albums from the cap center May 30 1977

nope never heard of them

They've never saved a boy from an attacking pack of wolves, so they can't be all that great.
