At this point I wish I could tell you about each song, but I cant, because it was so damn long ago, plus I didnt know any of their other songs! But I do have some other images ingrained in my mind. I remember them sitting down for the acoustic set and Plant introducing Going to California. I remember him introducing Stairway to Heaven and being shocked that someone had invented a guitar with two necks. I remember a big black balloon floating around over the crowd on the floor that said 'Good Evening' on it in white letters. And I remember a big black dude dancing with a small blonde white chick in the aisle at the end of the show during one of the encores. Many of these memories were first time things for me, the smell of pot, the incredibly up vibe of the crowd, all things that I will never forget. And finally I do remember the concert being four hours with four encores. I recall telling people the next day that the show started at 8:15 and was over by 12:15. Maybe in reality it was a bit shy of four hours, but it was a LONG show. I remember after the first encore moving down from our seats to the aisle between the 300s and 200s. It was loud as hell on the side of the stage there and the P.A. was hanging right in front of us! I also remember after the third encore (which of course years later I found out to be Weekend), that the house lights went up. Half of the arena had emptied including my buddy and me. We were out in the concourse area by the concessions and heading for the door, when we heard people screaming inside. We ran back in to find the lights out again and watched them do a fourth encore.... Even though I had no idea at the time, apparently this show and the following night were some of the best shows they had ever done and some of the most enjoyable for the band. And it was during those couple days I believe that they recorded some cuts for Houses of the Holy at Electric Ladyland in New York..... When I met Robert Plant on the set of MTV in 1982, he claimed he clearly remembered my gig and said it was a good one!.... Next when I have a chance I will give my recollections of July 29, 1973.....
