Led Zeppelin, the "Jet" concord

[Republican Lorrain -  1 April 1973] For those who have a look optimistic, they were 6000 for the other there was an indefinite mass of young people. In the hostile coldness Exhibition Nancy, they came to see and compliment the golden roaring monster "Led Zeppelin", or if you prefer greatest quartets Hard Rock anglais.L appearance of "airship" is provided midday Tuesday, the organizers had to require early, transfer to another pens, 2,000 sheep crowded the hall D. So at noon one LED can ask its cargo safely slush funds, a hundred large, small and even one hundred percent cash boxes giant hat.

The "sound", lighting and instruments were arranged in a scrupulous pattern on a podium 20 meters long.Finally, behind the scenes, the ultimate requirement of "wild", had already brought the meal: 8 juice bottles of Chablis, 24 bottles of beer, 4 large bottles of orange juice, 12 large bottles of Coke, 30 sandwiches, fruit for 17 people, lemons, honey - lots of liquid honey - finally ice cubes.
