Quite a mixed performance. In one place the band rocks really but on another they seems to be tired or bored with the atmosphere a bit I think. Some really good playing duirng Dazed And Confused and the medley. Robert aked the audience to be back in one point and it's obvious he was scared after Boston and New York riots.
sent away for tickets about 2 month's early...got 4th row center and as i recall they cost six bucks each....i remember swallowing something in the parking lot and left rochester for the next 4 hours....the greatest rock concert i've ever been to....by far!!!! evey other concert i saw palled by comparison...i remember robert tossing his head back and his long hair seemed to flow forever...jimmy broke a string on a song and the roadie strung it kneeling in front of him as jimmy just kept playing his solo...during the solo jimmy worked tuning that string into the solo and never missed a beat.......i realized that the"big b" drove that band to places no other band could ever go!!! amazing but then robert told us that this next song is from a forthcoming lp.......imagine being in the 4th row...in an altered state and hearing stairway for the first time ever!!! it still gives me chills to think about it!!! by the time Zep played the encore Thank You....everyone in the aud was weeping and filed out in a daze.....as me and my 5 buddies drove back to Buffalo we knew we had just witnessed something unbelievable.......although time has taken it's toll on some and i've lost track of others....when i do see them we always talk of this night and what we had the priviledge to witness!!!!! all we can say is......Thank You
I attended this concert, and I will never forget it. The acid was delicious, and the company screamed hippie!! I remember I took a pair of my Fathers expensive binoculars (without his permission), and left them at the War memorial. Dad never missed them!!
I will swear on my life that they played "Gallows Pole"@ this concert and it was incredible...
Due anni fa! Ti amavo senza saperlo!
