4-17-70 Memphis Concert
I was there. My girlfriend at the time gave me tickets for my 17th birthday which was 4 days later. We sat pretty far from the stage but I remember Jimmy Page using a violin bow on his guitar which seemed very strange to me at the time. This was definitely early in their history as evidenced by a guy behind me tapping me on the shoulder and asking "Which one is Led Zeppelin?" At least I knew the members of the band enough to tell him their names. I have often thought back to that concert and realized how lucky I was to see Led Zepplelin in person.
