I was 18...stood in line at Sears, Natick Mall for two hours to get tickets ($6.50 ea.)...I've seen hundreds of concerts, all the greats, this was THE greatest...despite it being about 150 degrees inside the old Garden...Page was (is) the greatest guitarist ever.

Two things plague the show: Robert's very weak voice and the out of control crowd. The band drops Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You, and Moby Dick in efforts to calm the crowd. The band itself is playing really well, and Dazed And Confused is a great version. However, the crowd is out of control and the band punishes them with no encores, ending the show at slightly less than two hours. The crowd can't believe it, but that's what they get for not heeding the pleas of Robert when people are getting crushed in front. Robert even sings "Take it easy" in the middle of Dazed but to no avail. The show is played really well though.

[Paneeks1960]

The show only lasted about an hour and a half because of all the idiots on the floor. The seats that the rows were in were not bolted down so you could literally move six to eight people by pushing on the backs of the seats. Thats was causing a lot of commotion that night because every time that Zeppelin started to play, people were moving around, pushing and fighting. I remember Robert getting really pissed and threatening to leave. Bostonians took their Zeppelin serious. Not that night though!
