I was there, on stage
In 1972 I worked in London for a company called Projection and Display who rented out projectors, screens etc. We often went with the equipment to help set it up and even stay and show the film or slides or whatever.
We got a request to go to Alexandra Palace with a 16mm projector and a rear projection screen on a Sunday I think it was. We had no idea what for.
When we got there we found Led Zep were appearing.
We were asked to go and set the projector and screen up on stage (at this point there were thousands sitting in the hall waiting for Led Zep to come on).
Anyway we were given the film to play and it was Tom and Jerry. When the film started a huge cheer went up from the audience.
Anyway when the film had finished we took down our equipment and took it to the back of the stage (near John Bonhams drums) and sat by the equipment.
Eventualy the group came on and we were just yards from them (seeing them from the back obviously).
Then they started to play, and BLOODY HELL WAS IT LOUD. It hurt our ears.
We could only stand about 10 minutes of it and we left the stage and went outside and waited till the band finished so we could retrieve our equipment.
No wonder rock stars suffer from hearing problems in later years.
