I wonder what Sirfindafold would say about this development.
Same here...well, San Diego not Rochester.BSmack wrote:If those shows get within 100 miles of Rochester, I am in.

Thanks for the reminder, Mikey. I'm getting forgetful these days. :)Mikey wrote:Isn't it time for your afternoon Metamucil/Ensure cocktail, and a little nap after you change your Depends?Wolfman wrote:(If I disappear from T1B tomorrow, you'll know why)

bet that was an awesome show. Probably sold out. Even the colored section. Actually, they prolly opened it up to white folks just to sell a few more tickets as i doubt there were more than a handful of brothers into LZ.Sudden Sam wrote:I saw Zeppelin in Tuscaloosa in '73 (I think)*.

Those are both classic performances. I have copies of a bunch of Zeppelin shows, and the 73 sets just have such a powerful vibe to them. The Mobile gig in particular is hot. If I ever find a copy of the Tuscaloosa show, I'll let you know. There might be an audience recording out there.Sudden Sam wrote:Not a ton of black Alabamians into Zep at that time. That I can recall anyway. That was a helluva night. Basically all I remember is they opened with 'Rock and Roll', the drum solo in 'Moby Dick', smoke billowing during 'No Quarter', and Page bowing his axe.
Can't go into details, but a buddy and I were so...ummmm...we enjoyed the show so much that we told our friends to go back to Montgomery without us. We ended up at an apartment with some girls. Got a little weird when a dude pulled out a needle. Never got into that.
We hitchhiked home the next day.
A few years ago I managed to track down some live CDs of Zep's gigs in Mobile and New Orleans that sandwiched the Tuscaloosa show. And a photographer friend traded me...for copies of the CDs...a large photo of the band that he took that same evening.
Enough Zep shit.
So far, there is nothing out there. Amazing that there are 6 different tape sources for Mobile and 9 for New Orleans. But the for the Tuscaloosa show, not a thing showing any any bootleg database out there. Maybe the guys taping the show that night shared in some of your post show amnesia?Sudden Sam wrote:That would be very much appreciated.BSmack wrote: If I ever find a copy of the Tuscaloosa show, I'll let you know.

If you could find out where I went late that night, I'd appreciate that as well!
