John Paul Jones: As far as Im concerned, the key Zeppelin gig, the one that put everything into focus, was one that we played on our first American tour at the Boston Tea Party. Wed played our usual one hour set, using all the material for the first album and Pages White Summer guitar piece and by the end, the audience just wouldnt let us offstage. It was in such a state that we had to start throwing ideas around, just thinking of songs that we might all know or that some of us knew a part of and work it out from there. So wed go back on and play things like I Saw Her Standing There and Please Please Me, old Beatles favorites. I mean, just anything that would come into our head and the response was quite amazing. There were kids actually bashing their heads against the stage Ive never seen that a gig before or since, and when we finally left the stage, wed played for four plus hours.

Peter (Grant) was absolutely ecstatic. He was crying, if you can imagine that, and hugging us all. You know with this grizzly bear hug. I suppose it was then that we realized just what Led Zeppelin was going to become. (NME, Feb. 1973)

An amazing show ... this could be quite possibly one of the the best Led Zeppelin concert from 1969. The sound is vibrant and crisp and the playing is amazing. Jimmy's soloing throughout is nothing short of breathtaking and Jones' thundering bass and Bonham's amazing drums only add to it, as does Robert's crystalline and wonderful voice. An incredible show ... one of the very best! Some sources reports that another set of rock 'n' roll medleys was performed but a big care must be taken with these statements.

where's the beatles the played?!

[Conneyfogle]

The Beatles are a group from Liverpool.

John, Paul, George and Keith.

They did excellent covers of Little Richard and Chuck Berry, but little else of note.

Nice to see someone is into obscure music.

Rock on.

"play things like I Saw Her Standing There and Please Please Me, old Beatles favorites."

Where are these?!?!?!?!

[Conneyfogle]

Know what you mean. There is a boot where they do Buffalo Springfield's "Something's Happening Here" and Plant sings the lyrics to "I Saw Her Standing There" to the melody of the former song.

I've head Please Please me but can't place it...

Will look it up when I have a moment.

Conneyfogle will be back soon and he knows this stuff really well.

peace and btw you have awesome taste.

[PAULOcbi]

@Conneyfogle dont forget alot of the artists from the seventies era looked upon the beatles as songwriting geniuses,and while Page paid his dues in the studio the beatles surely paid their dues on the road,playing live..
