The second show of the US Tour in front of a record breaking audience that is also completely out of control! "Hello. It seems between us we've done something nobody's ever done before ... and that's fantastic!" Robert asking the crowd for calm here and there. The playing varies between brilliant and sloppy. Dazed And Confused is a fine example of this. Some sections sound great and others have Jimmy way by himself. The drum solo segues into Heartbreaker and then into Whole Lotta Love, the only time this is ever done. A very good show but not tops and nowhere near the nirvana reached in just a week.

I was there. It was awesome. We got there to get in as soon as they opened the gates. I don't remember what time it was, but it was early. We were able to stake out a spot about 10 to 2 yards from the stage. We had blankets, some goat skins full of wine, which we had to sneak in, and other assorted "things". It was a mini Woodstock for the afternoon with people playing around and having a good time.
The concert itself was just fabulous. One night I will never forget. Wish I had saved the ticket!

I went up to Tampa from Hollywood Fl with my friend Ron. We got a room the night before the show and man there was nothing but Zep heads everywhere. We partied all night. Next morning we got to the stadium at 10 am and the parking lots were jammed with people already. When they let us in latter that afternoon we were sunburned but we didn't care. We were in the stands and they along with the field quickly filled up. Girls were being bounced high into the air on blankets and it was generally just a very happy crowd. When Zep appeared on stage I swear the sun was setting behind them. when they did stairway someone shot off a parachute flare that drifted over the stage and at songs end they released 100's of white doves. I might be embellishing a bit here but my mind was with the times you know but that concert was by far the greatest ever for me. Jimmy is the BEST!!!
