The two concerts in Vancouver are almost cancelled, due to a strike by radio station CKLG-FM.
3-18-75: "CUPE local 1004 (Canadian Union of Public Employees) at the PNE and two other unions involved would have boycotted the concert if CUPE local 686, representing the CKLG strikers, had so wished. But CUPE spokesman Ole Johnson said the concert is "definitely on."
"We felt it was in the best public interest to allow the concert to be held," he said, "We aren't intertested in hurting the over 20,000 people who have already bought tickets."
This is something like a prelude to the following evening's show. The playing is on top form and overall all the songs were performed with furiosity. Pagey is in decent form tonight, with especially fine playing on Sick Again, In My Time Of Dying and The Song Remains The Same; Plant is not in fine form, though, with his best vocals coming from the songs that demanded the least from him, such as No Quarter and Whole Lotta Love; Bonham does bring the bang, with awesome drumming on Over The Hills And Far Away, Kashmir and Trampled Underfoot. Ironically, it is Jones that makes this show awesome, with amazing bass playing and great keyboards from start to finish. Kashmir was dedicated to "...Richard Cole, our tour manager - a good upright British citizen" and Dazed And Confused to "...our manager, Peter Grant, who's made so many things possible. He's the man who gives us the blow job in the dressing room". Obviously the whole band had a great time during these two Vancouver shows.
Did the band still have it ? That was the question most of us local Zepheads who had seen the band over the years wanted an answer to.
Well, right from the openning Bonham assult, that question was quickly answered...Oh yeah, they still had it alright and if anything, the new material from Physical Graffitti just justified our belief that this was a band that could play anything . On the night, they pretty much did ! The mix of old and new material wasn't a suprise to us but the range of material was quite honestly way beyond anything we had previously experienced from the band. Regardless of some of the local reviews it was an outstanding show that put the memory of their previous visit to Vancouver into the distant past

I was pretty young at the time around 15 but already a huge Zeppelin fan and what I remember most was the non-stop wall of sound that came at you. I mean these guys played real hard and if I remember correctly for just about 2.5 hours non-stop! I had never seen anything like it nor have I since and I have been to a lot of concerts over the years. Page, Plant and Jones took a break off the stage when Bonzo went into Moby Dick for 10 minutes then it was Bonham's turn to take five when Page was playing with the violin bow on his guitar during Dazed and Confused. I was blown away by what they did and how they changed the songs a bit from the album cuts I was used to hearing and the songs sounded even better!
I remember the ticket price of $8.00 which was a lot at the time but was it ever worth it. I did try to get a tickets for next night because the previous night was so good but it was sold out and everyone wanted to see these guys so there was no scalper tickets to be had. At least not what I could find.

Lyrics:
Its been a long time since I rock and rolled,
Its been a long time since I did the stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
Its been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Yes it has.
Its been a long time since the book of love,
I cant count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
Its been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just cant work right.
Open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.
Its been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
