Deborah J Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 ^^ That is one great audience photo and it would be 9 days later that I would see them grace the stage live in New Orleans for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Just wish I was old enough to see Zeppelin back then. If they had played NYC back in the early 80's, I would most likely have been there. But that's irrelevant now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah J Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi SuperDave! Frustrating isn't it. Even though I saw them and it forever changed me seeing a band live, I look at this photo and think how great it would have been to be in that crowd, especially those up front!!

The memories you have must be amazing. Well at least I saw Page/Plant several times and Robert and Jimmy numerous times on their own. Some great memories too, but wish I had seen the ultimate!

Deborah J Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 ^^ See, you have me beat there. Can you imagine I had tickets not just once...but TWICE for Page/Plant and had to travel for work, so I gave them to friends who I knew would enjoy it. Literally about killed me...sitting in a hotel room those nights knowing what I had missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Sombreo Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I was at the show. So were many of my friends. I was 15 at the time. A friend of mine is in the first 2 or 3 rows. I will have to look very carefully for him. Me? I was off to the right of the photo about half way up the pic on the ground. We at first sat in the bleachers and saw Zep arrive in their limos. They all waved at the crowd that could see them. The concert started at 8:15. The local DJ (from the USF radio station, The Underground Railroad) was MC. Still remember his words..."Ladies and gentleman, what more can I say, Led Zeppelin!! And Zep head, can I pm you as well? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
