Houston 1969
I can't remember a whole lot. I do remember getting blown away by them. I had bought there debut LP a few months prior and of course loved Dazed and Confused. I had no idea how (Jimmy) Page made the sounds that he did until I saw him live. It was the first time I saw anyone use a violin bow on an electric guitar. It was mesmerizing. The song seemed to go on forever yet you didn't want it to end. (Robert) Plant used his voice like an instrument and played off Page's amazing guitar sounds. (Drummer John) Bonham and (bassist John Paul) Jones were also incredible. Some bands did not carry over well from their studio to live performances. Zeppelin was a hundred times better live. You just knew if they stayed together this was going to be a rock super group. Given the incredible acoustics of the Music Hall and the sound system they had, my ears were ringing for several days, but I didn't care.
