What's the point? I was at the last concert Led Zep ever played in America... ever!
But these tards from shitville's such as
upstate New York, the midwest, Conn., etc... know much more about that day than I do.
lol!
Derringer was the band that played before the final band that day(Led Zep), and kicked so much ass, that's pretty much all we talked about after the show and for days to come. During their last song "Rock n' Roll Hoochie Coo, Derringer and the other guitar player were throwing their guitars back and forth and ripping cords with each toss. The whole stadium was so amped after the Derringer performance, we couldn't wait for Led Zep to take the stage.
Well, they didn't... for over 2 fucking hours, while "us' as fans stood in over 90 degree weather jammed together like sardines!!! We didn't realize till' the next day what the delay was.
To top it off... Bozo the drummer was so fuckin' drunk, much as the rest of the band, that the fucking idiot fell over his drum set during the second song and there was another 30 minute delay to get the fucking idiot sober enough to continue and re-setup the drum set.
If you've had to hear drunk people talk, you should see how they play! They were the least professional band I've ever seen, and they were booed during their entire set, they were so bad.
I was used to going to
Winterland to see concerts, since it had the best acoustics and all the real good bands went there to play, as opposed to going to some giant stadium for the big bucks.
You may have heard of an album called "Frampton Comes Alive"??? It was recorded at "Winterland". The Dead would always play every
New Years at Winterland.
By the way, "Winterland" only held around 6,000 people, yet all the best bands wanted to play there, as opposed to a larger venue. The best concert I'd ever seen at Winterland, was a double bill, with Thin Lizzy and Queen. I still have the memory from that concert of how bad KFC and pot smell when they are combined together, and not being able to hear the buses go by as I walked out on the street after the show.
Back on topic...
... What was the reason Led Zep was over 2 hours late to get on stage???
The bodyguards for Led Lep were as wasted as the shit band, and got into a fight with Bill Graham's bodyguards!
Bill Graham was so fucking pissed after the incident, that he said Led Zep would
never play in America ever again!
... and they never did!
Fuck that shit band, and I still want my money back!
