Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis 1970

I was a sophmore at Whitehaven HS in Memphis when I went to this concert. I was freakin' out cause we were late and as we ran from the car to the entrance we could hear Jimmy playing the lead section of Dazed and Confused. I was never so pumped in my life and when we got in, it was packed. We had to go up high and behind the stage to find a seat close. We were literally looking over John Paul Jones shoulder on stage right. My friends were bummed with the seats but it was a blessing for me because I had been playing drums for about 4-5 years so I had a birdseye view of John Bohnam all night. The solo in Moby Dick was awesome to observe from above. You could really see the physical style of this incredible drummer. Thirty eight years robs you of a lot of detail but I remember Jimmy's weird little box with the antenna (a Theremin) and thinking, "so that's where that sound comes from!" Thanks for having the Set List. It jogged my memory that they had played Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee." I would see them again at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium in '73 but the sound was not anywhere near the quality as this concert.
