Truly a great blues cover band.
Some of their original stuff was pretty good too.

Walleye,
I was at that Day on the Green. Me and my friends sold a lot of aluminum cans to get enough cash to go to that concert. Got there around 6 AM. It was a scene.
When they opened the gates, it was crazy. This one girl fell down and was getting trampled, but my friends and I were able to make a sort of wedge that diverted the crowd around her and let her get up.
Didn't Rick Derringer play that day too?

you ever see Zeppelin live? they sucked.
They sure as hell didn't on their early tours. I don't know if it was their
first or second tour which I saw them but they gave full value and then some.
They came on after an awesome set by The Doors which would have been
a really tough act to follow but they more than delivered. THEY ROCKED!

they should have given proper credit for all the lyrics and music they didn't write
I enjoy the Zep but if don't know they stole a bunch of their classics, you don't know rock and roll.
It could be a legal nightmare but it would be very cool of Jimmy & Robert to come forward and give credit where credit is due.
Some examples; The Lemon Song, When The Levee Breaks

Just fill in on the line where they fit, then do the same for some other well known performers.

I was at that Day on the Green as well.
Priest opened and was booed off the stage,
Derringer played next and did the hotest cover of Helter Skelter I've ever heard,
Then came Zep........THEY ABSOLUTELY SUCKED!!!
So much so that I left the concert and spent the rest of the time in the parking lot-they sounded better out there!

March 27th, 1970. This was the only time I ever saw them. It was a birthday present from my parents, on my birthday no less lol. No opening act, just Led Zepplin. It was a fun time indeed.

Unfortunately/fortunately I was too young to see Zep live. But I did see the Page/Plant tour at Cal Expo. I was there about 3 hours before they opened the gate for general seating and was surprised to see I was in the first 15 people in line. I thought there would've been people there all day. Jogged/Ran to the stage (while all the ushers are telling people to walk" and we were center stage, 2nd row. I guess if they had gone by Led Zep for that tour I wouldn't have been able to be so close.
Blind Melon opened. They were really good. Unfortunately their singer died shortly after.
Page and Plant played and looked great. I'm sure like many bands they have their good and bad days. With drugs/alcohol probably being the biggest factor.
Zep did take a lot of stuff, but they also innovated like crazy.

Loved their first two records - Saw them touring their second album and they sucked. The Bay Area was full of great rock bands you've probably never heard of that rocked it live. Plus all the great bands you HAVE heard of...
Zeppelin were posers. and then there is the story of what they did to one of Bill Graham's crew members back stage at the Oakland Coliseum...they suck.
