Notes

Led Zeppelin are billed as "Special Guests: Led Zeppilen, featuring Jimmy Page", who open for Vanilla Fudge.

Owner of Denny's Music Shop in Portland recalls renting equipment for this concert: "I got a call at my store that Led Zeppelin's truck ran into difficulties (due to snow) from their concert in Spokane, Washington. I loaned them some instruments for the concert that night at the Portland Civic Auditorium.  I met with the band late that day and Jimmy picked out a Gibson Casino guitar (this was used in the part of the concert where he used a violin bow). John Bonham picked out a Ludwig drum set and John Paul Jones, as I remember, took a Fender Precision bass."

"After they settled on the instruments, I asked them if they wanted to go to a pub around the corner from my store. They agreed and we went. I remember everyone looking at them strange, thinking they were just some hippies."
