The two concerts in Vancouver are almost cancelled, due to a strike by radio station CKLG-FM.
3-18-75: "CUPE local 1004 (Canadian Union of Public Employees) at the PNE and two other unions involved would have boycotted the concert if CUPE local 686, representing the CKLG strikers, had so wished. But CUPE spokesman Ole Johnson said the concert is “definitely on.”
“We felt it was in the best public interest to allow the concert to be held," he said, “We aren’t intertested in hurting the over 20,000 people who have already bought tickets."

March 19, 1975 Concert
I was pretty young at the time around 15 but already a huge Zeppelin fan and what I remember most was the non-stop wall of sound that came at you. I mean these guys played real hard and if I remember correctly for just about 2.5 hours non-stop! I had never seen anything like it nor have I since and I have been to a lot of concerts over the years. Page, Plant and Jones took a break off the stage when Bonzo went into Moby Dick for 10 minutes then it was Bonham's turn to take five when Page was playing with the violin bow on his guitar during Dazed and Confused. I was blown away by what they did and how they changed the songs a bit from the album cuts I was used to hearing and the songs sounded even better!
I remember the ticket price of $8.00 which was a lot at the time but was it ever worth it. I did try to get a tickets for next night because the previous night was so good but it was sold out and everyone wanted to see these guys so there was no scalper tickets to be had. At least not what I could find.
I have been a huge fan since then and still listen to their music all the time. My kids are all Zeppelin fans because of my insistance they listen to the music especialy since there is not a lot of good new music out there now in my opinion. I usually get some Zeppelin item for a Christmas gift from one of my kids and this year should be no exception. I can't wait until they tour again with Jason on the skins. I will take my kids to the show for sure.
