When we 1'st heard Led Zeppelin was coming to Louisville,Ky. we couldn't beleive it. Somehow, we had to get tickets! This was our dream band. Zeppelin rocked. The # 1 band ever. We were determined to get tickets, so when we heard the date tickets were to go on sale we decided to camp out and party all night at Freedom Hall. But, when we arrived at Freedom Hall we couldn't get on the grounds, it was closed off, so we hung around the area with the crowd of thousands, all night, we never sleep, we partied down all night. After daylight the crowd was getting jumpy, people were very anxious to get tickets, the crowd was so pumped up.But the gates were not scheduled to be opened up until later in the day.Finally, a few guys climbed over the fence and started running toward the admission gates with the police in hot pursuit, they got caught, then a few more tried, and more, and more and then it was all out madness and a wild run to the gates. My buddy, Jerry Morrison and I made it to the line and were in good position for tickets. We finally realized , looked at each other, and said " Yes" ! A high five! We made it! We both bought 10 tickets each for us and friends for $10 each and we were elated. And, the show was one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I seen most of the top rock bands in my days.I'll never forget it.It was 30 years ago, and Zeppelin is still my favorite rock band.Johnny Gardner Another very good show. Nice renditions of Sick Again, In My Time Of Dying, No Quarter and Kashmir. Some idiot threw a bottle that wasn't empty up on stage which actually clipped Jimmy's guitar. He sat his guitar down on the stand and left the stage. The remaining members also left shortly after. It's reported that Jimmy was pissed off, and nearly cancelled the remainder of the show. But after some minutes Jimmy played as if nothing had happened. He also misses some notes during his solo in Achilles Last Stand and Ten Years Gone is only average. Rather great version of Stairway To Heaven and a strong encore closing this evening.
