Its always fun to remember great shows with Legendary bands. But whether its the 1st time hearing them on the radio,or on tv or a show...
I remember the first time seeing Jimmy Page play his guitar with a bow...like a violin. Everyone was trying to figure out was he was doing and the sounds happening.
Getting to a show late and running into the middle of the crowd on their Zeppelin IV tour and arriving just in time for "Stairway". Was mesmerizing!! It looked & seemed like Plant was looking directly at & was singing to us.
Being at a backstage party when Jimmy Page entered the room in his "Blue suede jacket" with a couple of radio guys (it looked like Jimmy was floating in) and the entire room full of people just floated slowly along behind him. Definition of a rock god. The whole thing looked like something out of a Waynes World movie.haha

Good one, Zep was my 1st concert, July 1970 BstnGdn, 7th row -- Robert Plant kept asking the menin blue to please not walk in front of the stage as their caps proved distracting -- they didn't & he later referred to them as "herdsmen" in a non-'infammatory' way -- preshow toke underneath this dock in the nearby waterfront section
Born in 1969 so I'm too young to have seen Zep. My older brothers were all geared up to get tickets for the 1980 tour, with the safe assumption they would have played Atlanta.
Saw Robert Plan on his second US tour in 1985 (with the mini-Honeydrippers set in the middle), again 5 years later when he was playing some Zep tunes, 1998 on the Page-Plant 2nd tour, Wanee about 6 years ago with Band of Joy (sublime), and earlier this summer with his Sensational Space Shifters band.
Saw Page once on the 2nd The Firm tour.
Completed the trifecta of living Zep members seeing John Paul Jones in the Dave Rawlings Machine 3.5 years ago.
