I got in touch with my friend that drove us to the show. She tells of standing in line for four hours to get the last four tickets sold in Tucson. Bless her heart. I'm pretty sure that was in Jan or Feb 77 for an original March date. She remembers roadies had to help Page onto the stage. She's grateful for the chance to have seen them. I'm grateful for her efforts.
I see if I can post the scanned image of the ticket she miraculosly uncovered after 39 years.
@KellyGirl- I'm pretty sure Page was sitting before they started the acoustic stuff. He not only sat, he slouched. He was to Plant's left, just right of center stage, from the audience view,. He was looking diaganolly to his right.
The price of the ticket was good, even for '77. Some "lesser" acts were getting up to $15 by then. Thinking of those prices back then...I paid $4.50 to see Rare Earth in '72, about $4 to see Neil Diamond in "71 free for The Grass Roots at AZ State Fair '71, $3.50 or so for The Guess Who in '72, $5 for REO Speedwagon in '75, $7 for Spirit in '79, I think around $9 for Pink Floyd in '74ish, and on and on. I tried to list all the acts I've seen over the decades; it was a long list. But the few that remain as the best and were all less than $15 are Zepplin in '77, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in '74, Frank Zappa in about 76ish, Santana in '77ish, Elvis Costello in '78, and the Califfornia World Music Festival in '79 for about $25.
btw- I'm trying to post at the end of this thread. Either this tablet is confused or I am. It won't let me post anywhere but here...
