Led Zeppelin concert
I was at this concert in Memphis 1970. I was going to school at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas which is only an hour's drive from Memphis (I think - can't remember actually). So we would often go to concerts in Memphis and I was able to see many of my favorite groups at that time (Hendrix, Chicago Transit Authority, Big Brother, Mountain, Quicksilver, Grand Funk Railroad, etc etc). Led Zeppelin was needless to say awesome. They were yet so young and incredibly loud but the magic was thrilling. We had taken lots of acid and most of the people in the audience too :-). It was right after the release of the second album I think. I didn't see them again until San Francisco a few years later but this concert I will never forget.
