Led Zep From tucson to Tempe 1977
My biggest recollection of this show was how difficult it was to even attend the show. In 1977 I was still in High School in Tucson Arizona. As a kid of 15 when we heard Led Zeppelin was going to be playing in Tempe we were all excited and we decided we'd figure out how to travel the 100 plus miles from Tucson to the show after we had the tickets.I remember the tickets went on sale on a Saturday and were available through a ticket outlet that was located in the local department store. It may have been Macy's but I'm not sure. The ticket outlet had a primitive computer link with the sales office in Phoenix and in theory you ordered the tickets in Tucson and they were printed via the computer link and you got your tickets and went home. I remember the limit was 4 tickets per person and I intended to get all 4. The ticket price was $8.50 which was high for the time. Most shows were going for 5 or 6 dollars. I stood in line and waited and waited and put up with a few obnoxious buyers who were trying to cut in line. After all that I got up to the window and purchased my 4 tickets. Luckily I had them in hand when the computer link went down. No more tickets for the Tucson fans. I think the show was originally scheduled in March but was postponed. There was a long period of time when we weren't even sure the show was going to happen. Much to my relief the show was finally re scheduled for July and the original tickets would be honored. Now how does a 15 year old kid with 4 friends who cant drive get to the show. Luckily for me I talked my grandparents who were visiting from California to drive us all the 100 miles to the show and wait in Phoenix for us and drive us home after. I cant believe they agreed to it. I remember getting there and going in the arena and our seats were far from good. We were high up and off to the side but still excited to even be there. We ended up sitting in the aisle on the stairs to get a better view and security didn't even care. They'd never put up with that now. I remember one guy a couple of rows ahead of us was so wasted he had to be escorted out and as far as I know missed the show.I couldn't believe after all I had been through to get there someone would throw away their chance to see Led Zeppelin live. I remember the performance pretty much like all the other posts of this show. I remember Jimmy Page getting blown back by the surprise flash at the beginning of Achilles last stand and I remember no quarter as being particularly moody and interesting.Was this their best show of course not. Most fans agree that the band could be on or off and this was not their finest moment. They didn't even do an encore. But despite that I'm grateful to have had the chance to witness one of the best bands of all time live. Robert Plants son died a few weeks later and the rest of the tour was canceled. This was one of the last shows they ever performed in North America.
