I was 30 feet from the stage

I keep slowing it down to see if I can find a young me somewhere in the crowd,that was a memorable day.

I saw them 3 times: the irst opening for Country Joe & the Fish's last concert together at Fillmore West, January '69, then saw them headlining at Fillmore West next time they came theough, like 6 months later at which they headlined, then at the ill-fated Black Day at the Oakland Coliseum where Judas Priest and Rick Derringer opened for them, at which they pretty well sucked! Sorry, Pagey, but you lost it when your fingers were broken up at Madison Square Garden by a thrown firecracker

I was there, too! With my girlfriend at the time, we had a GREAT DAY! And, yes, I DO Believe it was the first "Day on the Green" Bill Graham ever did...A fine concert, despite the facts that they had been up partying in LA the night/morning just prior to this for Bonzo's birthday & their LA Forum concert,, a fact which Robert Plant alludes to when he says, right at the beginning "It doesn't seem like we should be doing this at this moment, as we've only had about two and a half hours sleep...".

I was there! By the time Led Zepp got on the stage I was in a fog.....If I remember correctly(ya never know) I think there was fog surrounding Sutro Tower by the time Led Zeppelin started playing. I got there at 10:00AM and man that was a long day but worth it. I think that was the first Day on the Green. I think it was June2, 1973...

[JennaP46]

Not too bad for audio and visual back in the day~Ha ;)

Wow...that's amazing..

@ichupichu Led Zeppelin's music, like the Beatles was always in my head playing in the background: I don't know how. The first album is just amazing with all the raw emotional energy bombarding the senses. I first heard Good Times, Bad Times on AM radio in my mom's Chevy Bel-Air in 1969, and naturally that's the way Rock N Roll sounds. I'm afraid that if I had ever seen Zeppelin I would have lost my mind in a really big way and never come back. Great band, great music.

@ichupichu Thanks for that info. I met Bill Graham in Philadelphia in 1985. I wish I had this information then because I would have asked him if he had this whole Zeppelin show on video. I did not know that he lost a lot of the shows from a fire? I would also kill to see some of the earlier ones from the Fillmore. We know the 1977 footage is out there but this 1873 tour was my favorite. If only the whole show would surface, wow!

Thanks a lot,

Rob/Boston

I still remember the first time I heard LZ. I was in high school and hanging out with a friend and he played just release first album. My jaw dropped to the floor. Went straight to the store and bought it then wore it out on my cheap record player. Drove my folks nuts! Then I heard they were playing at this tiny place on the NH coast. Lied to my folks and went to the show. WOW!

Their songs about the Trilogy are my favorites. Would make a great CD.

@SD1Chargers

Just a hard core fan. I have been lucky to see a lot of great music over the years. Saw the Grateful Dead over 200 times. By far the most of any band. Zappa was another favorite. Saw him over 20 times as well as Santana, Jethro Tull, and a few more. Gets a little blurry over time. Back then a show cost about an hour's worth of work so I went a lot. Winterland had three bands a night with the first act a headliner anywhere else, for $4. Life was good.
