May 9, 1969: Led Zeppelin plays Edmonton Gardens

(May 9, 2014) EDMONTON - They weren’t rock legends yet, but Led Zeppelin were well on their way when they performed at the Edmonton Gardens during their second tour of North America.

Edmonton and Vancouver were their only Canadian dates.

Britain’s hottest and loudest new rock band must have made some ears bleed when they “let loose an earthquake of sound and frenzy,” wrote Journal reviewer Bob Harvey. “Their music’s loud, almost to the point of pain, but they don’t use volume to cover up deficiencies.

“The volume is part of their attack.

“Probably the most aggressive, masculine rock group anywhere. They batter at the mind and ear, insisting that they will penetrate.”

Formed in late 1968, their first album, Led Zeppelin, was the result of their first two weeks together. It was No. 3 on the music chart at CHED, then a rock radio station.

Tickets for the Gardens show were $3.50, $4, and $4.50.

The band’s rock gods included 21-year-old singer Robert Plant, 23-year-old guitarist Jimmy Page, 22-year-old bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and 21-year-old drummer John Bonham.

“Plant has a powerful voice that’s easily heard above the din of the instruments,” Harvey wrote.

And Page is a “genius on the guitar … and is easily the most inventive, imaginative guitarist I’ve heard.” His 20-minute guitar solo got a standing ovation from the crowd of 5,200.

Because of the Air Canada strike, it had taken the band 12 hours to fly to Edmonton from its previous stop in Santa Monica, Calif., but Harvey wrote they didn’t let any fatigue affect their performance.

The Angus Park Blue Band and Papa Bear’s Medicine Show also appeared on the bill.

Two months later Led Zeppelin came through Edmonton again — one of only three Canadian stops along with Vancouver and Toronto — and played for a standing-room-only crowd of 5,000 at the Kinsmen Field House on July 29th, along with Vanilla Fudge. Tickets were $4 in advance, $5 at the door.

Led Zeppelin disbanded following Bonham’s death from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980.

Their more than 138 million certified record sales put the band in the same musical stratosphere as The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John, and Pink Floyd.

Hot Rock Band, Loud, Frenzied

By Bob Harvey | The Journal

Led Zeppelin is brutal.

The hottest new rock band from Britain stalked on stage at the Gardens Friday and let loose an earthquake of sound and fury.

Their music’s loud, almost to the point of pain, but they don’t use volume to cover up deficiencies.

The volume is part of their attack. They don’t titillate, or tease audiences to share their inspiration.

Instead they blast out with raw, jagged power, enough to bust a new door into your brain. They use their instruments like a brush and palette, creating frenzied visions that tumble through space and time.

The visions have such deadly fascination that you can’t bear to blink an ear, but they’re flung out like hammers, so that it’s hard not to duck in self-protection.

Led Zeppelin is probably the most aggressive, masculine rock group anywhere. They batter at the mind and ear, insisting that they penetrate.

Because of the Air Canada strike, the group spent 12 hours getting to Edmonton, but they didn’t let fatigue affect their performance.

Their whole approach depends on being able to roue themselves to a high pitch of excitement, and mounting an all-out war in an attempt to bring audience along with them.

For every performance, they must wrench, and share what they have inside.

Like other artists, rock musicians strive to lift up their audiences to a higher level whether it be of emotion or thought. Led Zeppelin compels excitement and involvement. If an audience retains detachment or any kind of objectivity their performance becomes meaningless.

The most powerful members of the group on stage are guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant. Their movements are charged with quivering nerves, and the tension and complete accord between them heightens the electricity.

Plant, 21, has a powerful, moaning voice that’s easily heard about the din of the instruments.

Page, 23, is a genius on the guitar. He creates soaring pictures of the future by using a violin-bow on the guitar, plucks trumpets sounds out of the air, and is easily the most inventive, imaginative guitarist I’ve heard. He got a standing ovation for a 20-minute solo.

Drummer John Bonham, 21, is almost as inventive as Page. He must have four arms to play the way he does.

Bassist John Paul Jones, 22, plugs along at the bottom of the sound, adding a foundation.

Led Zeppelin’s been together only since late last year. The result of their first two weeks together is the album Led Zeppelin, currently Number Three on CHED’s chart.

Page started looking for musicians after the Yardbirds broke up in 1968. Besides Page, the Yardbirds produced Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.

Both Page and Jones had been arrangers and studio musicians, working with people like Donovan, and the Rolling Stones. They got together while working on Donovan’s Hurdy Gurdy Man album.

Then they heard Bonham and Plant, and Led Zeppelin was formed.

Page said: “I can’t put a tag to our music. Every one of us has been influenced by the blues, but it’s one interpretation of it and how you utilize it. I wish someone would invent an expression, but the closest I can get is contemporary blues.”

As Led Zeppelin plays it, it’s knock-down, drag-out blues.

Two other rock groups, the Angus Park Blues Band, and Papa Bear’s Medicine Show appeared on the bill with Led Zeppelin at the concert, staged by Boyd Grafmyre of Seattle, and Fantasy Inc.
