Newspaper report: Led Zeppelin - A Heavier Than Air Craft For Sure
When Led Zeppelin descended on Washington, 18,700 concert tickets were snapped up in three hours. Some people who could not get tickets vented their disappointment just as, perhaps, disappointed Viennese did when they could not get into a Mozart recital. They threw bottles at the police. The tempestuous behavior by disappointed ticket seekers called to mind the sporadic violence in gas station lines last whiter during the oil embargo, the other recent shortage of a life-sustaining commodity.Rock music is to the youth culture what gasoline is to the more adult culture: it is that without which life lacks tang. (Courier, Feb 19, 1975)
Newspaper report: Led Zeppelin fans start riot
LANDOVER, MD - Several hundred youths trying to crash a sold-out Led Zeppelin concert last night began throwing rocks and hollies at police. Fifteen persons were arrested.
Sgt. Robert Law of the Prince Georges County police said about 70 officers called to the scene were showered with debris. We have several police cars damaged and windshields broken." Sgt. Law said last night. "The tires on a police cruiser were slashed and windows were broken." No injuries were reported.
The concert went on as scheduled inside the Capital Centre. The 18,700 tickets for the show by the British rock group were sold within hours, the fastest sellout in the history of the new arena in suburban Washington D.C.
Sgt. Law said the disturbance was started with "disorderlies trying to crash the gates." (Feb. 1975)
This could be very good show but the sound is so horrible that makes this bootleg recording for hardcores only. Interesting renditions of Dazed And Confused and Moby Dick, when Bonham thrown a couple of rhythm exercises known from basic structure of Whole Lotta Love ... played later as an usual encore!
First rock concert I ever saw. My big brother, Alex, had an extra ticket and I lucked out. They were nosebleeds but I didn't mind. It was hard to see the other side after the fog arose LOL That fog made me enjoy the concert even more. I don't know why. I was only 15 at the time and had no knowledge of drugs. Still, it was an awesome show and I became a huge Zeppelin fan after that. I used to be able to tell you every song in order on every side of every album. Can't do THAT anymore.
I attended that show. It was a good show but what I'll remember most is the insanity that surrounded it. I saw people breaking through security to get in. One of our party was a 13-year old girl who had her ticket snatched out of her hand while she was waiting in line. She had to spend the show sitting in my car, watching crowds of people who came without tickets fighting police on horseback. She compared it to a scene from "Planet of the Apes."
This was the best concert I attended in my younger days. I was only 18 at that time. I remember that the laser show was awesome!! I wish I could have taken some pictures but they don't let you bring in cameras. This was definitely a night to never forget! Led Zeppelin continues to be my favorite band of all time!
We spent the night at the Cap Center.
By the time the doors opened I had wriggled my way to the front.
Many people who had endured the cold and the croud left with minutes to go. We talked one guy into staying who was beginning to crack from the pressure. To my rememberance you could only purchase ten tickets. I had my choice five in the front row and five in the second row. I could have bought all ten in the front row but we decided to split it. I think they were like dirt cheap back then ten or twenty dollars.
The scene outside was electric, mounted police to control the crowds, people trying to break down the doors, one entrance had to be closed...but the show was phenomenal! Jimmy and the band were in top form. Kashmir and Whole Lotta Love stand out in my memory, and the first time seeing the double-neck live! Saw them there again in '77!
